Artificial Intelligence
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning can help detect and
prevent cyber attacks with greater
accuracy and speed.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing could potentially
break traditional encryption techniques
and require the development of quantum-
safe cryptography.
Internet of Things (IoT)
The growth of IoT devices increases the
attack surface for cyber criminals and
requires additional security measures to
protect against potential threats.
