DSIT's latest findings on AI, other emerging technologies and cyber security
On 8 August, the UK Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (“DSIT”) published a report titled “Emerging technologies and their effect on cyber security” (the “Report”). It examines how the convergence of AI, IoT, Quantum, Edge Computing, Blockchain and other emerging technologies is transforming the cyber threat landscape. We’ve summarised below some of their key findings and takeaways. In the pursuit of growth and efficiencies many companies are considering how to adopt emerging technology into their operational processes, and the Report provides a useful guide as to emerging cyber risks and where the UK Government’s attention is focused as it launches the Cyber Resilience Bill later this year.
