23、ecosystems while driving innovation.Balancing the risks and opportunities presented by emerging technologies is key to maintaining a secure and resilient digital future.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies4IntroductionEmerging technologies are expanding the digital attack
24、surface at an unprecedented rate,creating new vulnerabilities and complexities that traditional security measures may not adequately address.3 The anticipated surge of internet of things(IoT)devices,projected to surpass 32 billion globally by 2030,4 introduces countless potential entry points for cy
25、berattacks.Similarly,integrating AI into critical infrastructure,while offering enhanced capabilities,also exposes systems to risks such as data poisoning,adversarial attacks and deepfakes,which can manipulate AI algorithms to behave unpredictably or maliciously.The increasing interconnectivity of t
26、hese technologies results in a more complex and dynamic threat landscape.A breach in one system can trigger cascading effects across multiple interconnected networks,potentially disrupting critical infrastructure and services on a massive scale.This interconnectedness,while beneficial for operationa
27、l efficiency,necessitates a comprehensive and adaptive approach to cybersecurity one that not only protects against potential breaches but also ensures robust recovery mechanisms to maintain continuity and trust in digital systems.Moreover,the speed of technological innovation often outpaces the dev
28、elopment of regulatory frameworks and cybersecurity measures.The absence of standardized security protocols and regulations creates governance gaps,making it difficult for organizations to implement consistent cybersecurity strategies.Compounding these challenges is a significant shortage of cyberse
29、curity professionals skilled in emerging technologies,underscoring the urgent need for targeted education and training initiatives.This skills gap highlights the importance of building a resilient workforce capable of addressing the complexities of next-generation cyberthreats.While these challenges
30、 are significant,they also present a unique opportunity to rethink the approach to cybersecurity.Moving from a“security by design”to a“resilience by design”mindset involves embedding resilience principles into every stage of technology development and deployment.This shift recognizes that,in todays
31、landscape,preventing all cyberattacks is unrealistic;instead,the goal should be to design systems that can absorb attacks,maintain critical functions and recover quickly with minimal impact.For example,in quantum cryptography,while it is essential to develop algorithms resistant to quantum attacks,i
32、t is equally important to ensure that cryptographic systems can continue to operate securely even under attack.Similarly,AI and machine learning can be used not only to detect threats but also to predict and pre-emptively respond to potential vulnerabilities,enhancing overall system resilience.Adopt
33、ing a“resilience by design”approach requires a paradigm shift in how organizations and policy-makers think about cybersecurity.It involves building systems that are not only secure but also flexible and adaptive,capable of evolving in response to new threats.This approach emphasizes continuous monit
34、oring,rapid response and the ability to learn from incidents to strengthen defences over time.For instance,organizations could implement AI-driven predictive analytics to identify potential threats and automatically deploy countermeasures,thereby reducing response times and limiting the damage cause
35、d by cyber incidents.The distinction between critical and emerging technologies further complicates the cybersecurity landscape.Critical technologies,such as AI and quantum computing,are already essential to national security and economic competitiveness,demanding immediate and sustained investments
36、 to protect them from cyberthreats.In contrast,emerging technologies,including post-quantum cryptography and synthetic biology,are still at the developmental stage but have the potential to become critical as their applications expand and their strategic importance becomes more apparent.5 This fluid
37、ity necessitates a flexible approach to cybersecurity that can adapt to both current and future risks,ensuring preparedness for a range of possible scenarios.By focusing on resilience rather than mere security,organizations can better navigate the complex and evolving technological landscape.This in
38、volves integrating resilience into the design and development of technologies,ensuring that systems are robust,adaptive and capable of withstanding the new scale of cyberthreats.It also requires fostering a culture of continuous improvement,where learning from past incidents informs future strategie
39、s,and where collaboration among stakeholders is prioritized to build a more resilient digital ecosystem.New digital technologies are accompanied by a daunting threats landscape that requires investment in a comprehensive novel cyber-resilience ecosystem.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emer
40、ging Technologies5To effectively navigate this complex environment,stakeholders in government,industry,academia and civil society must collaborate closely.Developing comprehensive cyber-resilience frameworks that are adaptable to the rapidly changing technological landscape and capable of addressing
41、 the unique challenges posed by each technology is crucial.International cooperation is also vital,as cyberthreats are inherently global and call for a coordinated,well-managed response.The path forward lies in embracing a balanced approach that weighs both the risks and opportunities presented by e
42、merging technologies.By promoting an environment in which innovation can thrive without compromising security or societal values,the full potential of these technologies can be harnessed while safeguarding against their potential threats.This requires investing not only in technological advances but
43、 also in human and organizational capabilities to manage and secure these innovations effectively.A culture of continuous improvement,adaptation and collaboration will be essential to ensure that cybersecurity evolves alongside the technologies it aims to protect.This paper explores the multifaceted
44、 risks and opportunities associated with emerging technologies,offering data-driven insights and recommendations for enhancing cyber resilience.By understanding the evolving technological landscape and the security challenges it presents,organizations can better navigate the complexities of the digi
45、tal age,ensuring that innovation and security are advanced together in a balanced and sustainable manner.This approach not only protects the present but also ensures a secure,resilient and prosperous future in the face of emerging technological challenges.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Em
46、erging Technologies6Expanding the focus:Clarity beyond the current landscape of emerging technologiesWhile much of the current discourse around emerging technologies focuses on a small cluster of prominent developments such as AI,it is crucial to broaden this view to encompass the full spectrum of m
47、ore than 200 critical and emerging technologies shaping todays technological landscape.Emerging technologies span a wide range,including advanced materials,biotechnology,quantum-resistant cryptography,augmented reality and others,each with unique cybersecurity implications.The Australian Policy Inst
48、itutes development of a parameter for evaluating global readiness for critical technology investments provides further insight into how countries are positioning themselves to integrate and capitalize on these technologies.This parameter assesses various factors,such as technological maturity,econom
49、ic impact and geopolitical significance,offering a comprehensive framework for understanding global technological readiness.The rapid growth in investments in emerging technologies from approximately$4 billion in 2018 to more than$3.2 trillion today demonstrates a significant surge in global interes
50、t and development,underscoring the need for a broad,inclusive approach to technology assessment and strategy development.6It is important to consider the full range of technological innovations.1Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies7Defining the landscape:Critical vs.emergi
51、ng technologies2Distinguishing between critical and emerging technologies brings clarity to the cyber-resilience debate.To develop effective cyber-resilience strategies,it is essential to understand the distinction between critical and emerging technologies,as well as their respective impacts and st
52、rategic importance.The line between critical and emerging technologies can often be fuzzy.Some technologies may fit both categories simultaneously,depending on their stage of development and adoption in different sectors or regions,and classifications can change quickly with development.Critical tec
53、hnologies are those that are essential for national security,economic competitiveness and societal well-being.They often have dual-use potential,serving both civilian and military applications,and are considered strategically important.Examples of critical technologies include AI,quantum computing,s
54、emiconductors and biotechnology.These technologies are generally more established,having attracted significant investment from government and industry due to their immediate and long-term strategic value.The maturity of critical technologies means they are already integrated into national and econom
55、ic infrastructure,making them indispensable for maintaining strategic advantage and operational continuity.Emerging technologies are innovative technologies that are still in development or in the early stages of adoption.They have the potential to significantly affect various sectors but are not ye
56、t fully established or widely implemented.They often go beyond the Fourth Industrial Revolution,encompassing areas such as post-quantum cryptography,gene editing,precision medicine and the convergent effects of multiple technologies.Unlike critical technologies,emerging technologies are more specula
57、tive,attracting investments focused on research and development rather than immediate deployment.However,their rapid evolution and the increasing recognition of their transformative potential indicate that they may become critical technologies over time.1.Maturity:Critical technologies are typically
58、 more established and integrated into essential national and economic infrastructure.In contrast,emerging technologies are still evolving and may not yet have reached widespread adoption or maturity.2.Strategic importance:Critical technologies are deemed essential for national interests,including se
59、curity,economic competitiveness and societal well-being.Emerging technologies,while potentially transformative,may or may not achieve the same level of strategic importance.3.Current impact:Critical technologies have already had a significant impact on society,the economy and security.Emerging techn
60、ologies are in the process of demonstrating their full potential,with impacts that are anticipated but not yet fully realized.4.Investment focus:Due to their established importance,critical technologies attract substantial investments and strategic focus from governments and industries.Emerging tech
61、nologies,being more speculative,typically attract funding aimed at research,development and exploratory applications.The distinction between critical and emerging technologies is fluid:emerging technologies may become critical over time as their potential and impact become more apparent.This dynamic
62、 landscape necessitates continuous monitoring and adaptation of cybersecurity strategies to remain effective against evolving threats.2.1 Key differences between critical and emerging technologiesNavigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies8Framing cybersecurity concerns for emerg
63、ing technologies3Cybersecurity threats to new technologies include dangers specific to AI and quantum computing as well as vulnerabilities in the supply chain and data privacy concerns.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies9Framing cybersecurity concerns for emerging technol
64、ogies involves addressing a range of complex and interrelated risk factors.The rapid development of technologies presents both opportunities to enhance cyber resilience as well as challenges that could increase vulnerabilities.Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing robust strategies
65、to protect against emerging threats while maximizing the potential benefits of new technologies.1.Technological arms raceEmerging technologies are accelerating a technological arms race in cybersecurity.This is characterized by a continuous cycle of innovation and counter-innovation between defender
66、s and attackers.As defenders develop new tools and techniques,such as quantum-resistant encryption and decentralized systems,attackers are simultaneously advancing their methods to exploit these innovations.The cybersecurity market,driven by these needs,is projected to grow from$188 billion in 2023
67、to$288 billion by 2027,reflecting the increasing demand for advanced solutions to counter sophisticated cyberthreats.72.Ethical and legal challengesThe deployment of emerging technologies also raises significant ethical and legal challenges.For example,blockchain technology offers enhanced security
68、and transparency through decentralized ledgers,but it also raises issues regarding privacy,data ownership and the potential for misuse in illegal activities such as money laundering or the financing of terrorism.8 Legal frameworks around the world struggle to keep pace with these rapid advances,ofte
69、n resulting in a patchwork of regulations that are difficult to enforce globally.There is a critical need for comprehensive,globally harmonized legal frameworks and ethical guidelines that govern the use of these technologies.3.Digital divideA significant challenge in the context of emerging technol
70、ogies is the digital divide,which creates disparities in access to and the understanding of advanced technologies.Developed nations with substantial technological infrastructure and resources are better positioned to make use of emerging technologies for cybersecurity.In contrast,developing nations
71、often lack the financial resources,technical expertise and regulatory frameworks needed to implement these technologies effectively.This divide makes these nations more vulnerable to cyberthreats and limits their ability to contribute to and benefit from global cybersecurity advances.To address this
72、,there needs to be a concerted effort to build capacity and promote collaboration among different regions.4.Privacy concernsEmerging technologies can also heighten privacy concerns,particularly as they become more integrated into daily life and critical infrastructure.IoT devices,for example,collect
73、 vast amounts of data that can provide detailed insights into personal behaviour and habits.While this data can enhance operational efficiency and user experience,it also poses significant privacy risks if not properly managed.Blockchain technology,although offering increased security,can also be mi
74、sused to track transactions and identify individuals.The challenge lies in balancing the benefits of data collection and use with the need to protect individual privacy rights.This tension is likely to intensify as technologies such as edge computing and 5G networks expand,further increasing the vol
75、ume and granularity of data collected.Effective data governance policies and privacy regulations are critical to managing these concerns while promoting trust in emerging technologies.5.Economic impactThe dual-use nature of emerging technologies means they can be put to work for both beneficial and
76、malicious purposes,leading to significant economic implications.For example,blockchain technology can secure transactions and reduce fraud in financial systems,potentially saving billions of dollars.However,it can also be exploited for criminal activities,such as ransomware payments and illegal trad
77、es.The World Economic Forum estimates that cyberattacks could cost businesses worldwide more than$10 trillion annually by 2025.9 Organizations must factor in these economic impacts when planning their cybersecurity strategies,balancing the potential benefits of adopting new technologies with the ris
78、ks associated with their misuse.6.Geopolitical shiftsThe race to develop and control emerging technologies is reshaping global power dynamics,with significant geopolitical implications.Nations that lead in the development of advanced technologies such as quantum computing and AI are likely to gain s
79、trategic advantages in both economic and military domains.10 Controlling these technologies could lead to new forms of economic influence,significantly affecting international relations.Ensuring that the development and deployment of emerging technologies are guided by international norms and agreem
80、ents is critical to maintaining global stability.7.Skills gap and educational needsThe rapid evolution of emerging technologies has created a significant skills gap in the cybersecurity workforce.Advanced technologies such as quantum computing,synthetic biology and blockchain require specialized kno
81、wledge that is not widely possessed by the current workforce.This gap poses a serious challenge for organizations attempting to secure new systems and respond effectively to evolving threats.The demand for cybersecurity professionals is expected to exceed supply by a significant margin,with a projec
82、ted 3.5 million unfilled positions by 2025.11 To address this gap,there must be a robust investment in education and training programmes that focus on the specific needs of emerging technologies.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies10Emerging technologies offer both opportu
83、nities to enhance cyber resilience and risks that could increase the likelihood of exploitation in cyberspace.Understanding these dual aspects is crucial for developing effective strategies to maximize the benefits while mitigating the associated threats.Opportunities for enhancing cyber resilience1
84、.Quantum-resistant encryption:The advent of quantum computing provides a unique opportunity to revolutionize cybersecurity through the development of quantum-resistant encryption methods.These advanced cryptographic techniques can safeguard sensitive data against potential future quantum-based attac
85、ks,ensuring the long-term security of critical information and communication systems.2.Distributed ledger technologies(DLT):Technologies such as blockchain enhance cybersecurity by decentralizing data storage and processing.This decentralization reduces the risk associated with centralized databases
86、,which are common targets for cybercriminals.3.Autonomous systems:The deployment of autonomous systems,including self-healing networks and AI-driven incident response tools,represents a significant advance in cybersecurity capabilities.These systems can automatically detect threats in real time,resp
87、ond to incidents more quickly than traditional methods and even predict future vulnerabilities.4.Edge computing:Edge computing processes data closer to its source,reducing the need for data transmission to centralized servers.This distributed approach minimizes latency and bandwidth costs while redu
88、cing the risk of data interception during transit,which can protect critical infrastructure from attacks targeting centralized systems,thereby enhancing resilience.3.1 Opportunities and risks of emerging technologies for cyber resilience8.Trust and confidence in digital systemsAs emerging technologi
89、es become more integrated into critical infrastructure and daily life,maintaining trust and confidence in digital systems becomes increasingly challenging.Technologies such as quantum computing and blockchain are often perceived as complex and opaque,making it difficult for members of the general pu
90、blic to understand their benefits and risks.Incidents such as data breaches,misuse of technology and failures in IoT devices can erode public trust in these systems.Maintaining trust requires a commitment to transparency,robust security measures and clear communication about the risks and benefits a
91、ssociated with emerging technologies.9.Regulatory challengesThe pace at which emerging technologies are being developed often outstrips the ability of regulatory frameworks to adapt.This creates significant challenges for policy-makers and regulators,who must balance the need for innovation with the
92、 need to protect against new and evolving threats.Over-regulation can stifle innovation and slow technological progress,while under-regulation can leave critical vulnerabilities unaddressed.A flexible,adaptive approach to regulation is needed,one that can evolve in tandem with technological advances
93、 and ensure robust cybersecurity protections without hindering innovation.10.Interdisciplinary collaborationAddressing the challenges posed by emerging technologies requires unprecedented levels of interdisciplinary collaboration.Technologists,policy-makers,ethicists and other stakeholders must work
94、 together to develop comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that consider not only the technical aspects of emerging technologies but also their social,economic and ethical implications.For example,collaboration between the tech industry and public health experts could help ensure that advances in b
95、iotechnology are used safely and ethically.11.Increased attack surfaceEmerging technologies such as IoT,AI and cloud computing significantly expand the attack surface.The proliferation of IoT devices,expected to reach more than 32 billion connected devices by 2030,represents a massive increase in po
96、tential entry points for cyberattacks.12 Each connected device can serve as a potential point of vulnerability,necessitating robust security measures and comprehensive monitoring to mitigate risks.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies11Risks of accelerating exploitation1.Qu
97、antum computing risks:Despite its potential benefits,quantum computing poses a significant threat to current encryption standards.Cyber adversaries are already employing tactics such as“steal now,decrypt later”,in which encrypted data is harvested with the intention of decrypting it once quantum cap
98、abilities are sufficient.2.IoT vulnerabilities:The rapid growth of the IoT has dramatically expanded the cyberattack surface.Many IoT devices are deployed without adequate security measures,making them attractive targets for cybercriminals.The unregulated and diverse nature of IoT ecosystems require
99、s robust security frameworks to protect against breaches and prevent attackers from exploiting these devices.3.Blockchain exploitation:While blockchain technology provides enhanced security through decentralization and immutability,it is not immune to exploitation.Vulnerabilities in smart contracts,
100、for example,can be exploited for financial gain,leading to significant economic losses.The decentralized and pseudonymous nature of blockchain can also facilitate illegal activities,such as money laundering,posing additional challenges for regulatory bodies and law enforcement.4.AI-specific threats:
101、The integration of AI into cybersecurity introduces new vulnerabilities,such as data poisoning,model manipulation and adversarial attacks.AI can also be exploited to generate sophisticated phishing attacks,deepfakes and automated exploits,increasing the scale and complexity of cyberthreats.5.Supply-
102、chain vulnerabilities:The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of global supply chains,particularly in the ICT sector,have made them prime targets for cyberthreats.Emerging technologies often rely on intricate supply chains that are difficult to secure.Protecting these supply chains involves
103、 securing intellectual property,ensuring the integrity of components during transport,and implementing zero-trust architecture in which each component continuously verifies the others.The interplay between the opportunities and risks associated with emerging technologies requires a careful,strategic
104、 approach to cybersecurity.While technologies such as quantum computing,DLTs,autonomous systems and edge computing offer significant potential to strengthen cyber defences,they also introduce new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors.To deploy these technologies for cyber resilie
105、nce effectively,a comprehensive strategy that includes continuous investment in research and development,robust regulatory frameworks and international collaboration is essential.By balancing the opportunities and risks,organizations can better prepare for the evolving threat landscape and build a m
106、ore secure and resilient digital future.The complex nature of emerging technologies introduces unique security challenges that require targeted strategies and solutions.While emerging technologies hold great promise for innovation and advancement across sectors,it is essential to consider the potent
107、ial security challenges they bring.The following section outlines some risks associated with these technologies under extreme,worst-case scenarios,which,though theoretically possible,are highly unlikely.It is important to note that the majority of these technologies are being developed with strong s
108、ecurity measures in place,and many of the challenges mentioned are being actively mitigated through ongoing research,regulation and industry best practices.1.Semiconductors:There is a growing focus on securing the entire semiconductor supply chain.This includes protecting chip design intellectual pr
109、operty,securing fabrication processes and ensuring the integrity of chips during transport and installation.Developing“zero-trust”architecture,which involves components continuously verifying each other within the chips themselves,is becoming a key focus area.132.Digital assets:Digital assets such a
110、s cryptocurrencies,non-fungible tokens(NFTs)and tokenized real-world assets present unique security challenges.Cryptocurrencies face issues such as 51%attacks,smart contract vulnerabilities and wallet security.14 The rise of decentralized finance(DeFi)introduces new attack vectors such as flash loan
111、 attacks and oracle manipulation.Flash loan attacks involve attackers borrowing large amounts of cryptocurrency without collateral for a single transaction,manipulating market prices for profit.Oracle manipulation is the act of providing false data to smart contract oracles,which are trusted sources
112、 of external information,to exploit DeFi protocols.15 NFTs also face challenges related to proof of authenticity,copyright infringement and the security of the 3.2 Examples of emerging technologies and their security implicationsNavigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies12platfo
113、rms hosting them.Tokenized real-world assets(e.g.real estate or art)require secure links between the digital token and the physical asset,raising questions about legal frameworks and enforcement.3.Quantum technologies:Beyond the threat quantum computing poses to current encryption,quantum sensing co
114、uld potentially detect stealth technologies or underground facilities,affecting national security.Quantum communication networks,while potentially offering unbreakable encryption,could be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks at their classical interfaces.Post-quantum cryptography is being develop
115、ed to resist quantum attacks,but transitioning global infrastructure to these new systems presents enormous logistical and security challenges.164.Advanced AI systems:AI security is a growing concern because adversarial attacks on AI models could manipulate their outputs in subtle,hard-to-detect way
116、s.AI systems might also be vulnerable to data poisoning during training,leading to biased or malicious behaviour.The use of AI in critical decision-making processes(for example,financial systems)raises concerns about accountability and control.There is also a rising threat of AI systems being used t
117、o generate deepfakes or conduct large-scale social engineering attacks.175.Biotechnology and synthetic biology:Biotechnology advances such as DNA data storage technologies raise questions about long-term data security and potential biological data breaches.Synthetic biology could potentially be used
118、 to create designer pathogens or manipulate existing organisms in unforeseen ways.The convergence of AI and biotechnology raises concerns about the potential for creating self-evolving biological systems.186.Advanced energy systems:New energy technologies such as nuclear fusion reactors present uniq
119、ue cybersecurity challenges due to their complexity and potential novel vulnerabilities.Advanced battery technologies,crucial for the renewable energy transition,face risks of cyberattacks that could lead to overcharging,thermal runaway(where a temperature increase triggers a cascade of events that
120、produce even more heat,creating a dangerous feedback loop)or grid instability(where fluctuations or imbalances in an electrical power system that can compromise its reliability and performance).Wireless power transmission systems could be vulnerable to interception or disruption,potentially affectin
121、g critical infrastructure.197.Space technologies:The expansion of space technologies,including mega constellations of satellites(a large network of satellites deployed in low Earth orbit),introduces new challenges in space traffic management and the potential for large-scale disruptions.Issues of sp
122、ace debris,light pollution and the environmental impact are becoming increasingly important.208.Molecular electronics:Molecular electronics is an emerging field that presents vast opportunities,especially in miniaturized technologies for applications such as bioelectronic devices and hybrid systems.
123、One exciting aspect is the integration of molecular-scale circuits into bioelectronics,which holds promise for advancements in medical devices,environmental sensors and energy-efficient systems.However,with these opportunities come security concerns,particularly regarding potential surveillance uses
124、 and bioelectronic hybrid threats.Rigorous research is currently being conducted to address these security risks,ensuring that the application of molecular electronics is safe and reliable.Studies in bioelectronics,for example,are exploring how to establish the ethical and secure use of bioelectroni
125、c systems,such as hydrogels for safe signal transduction and brain-computer interfaces(BCIs),which highlight the importance of security in these new technologies.21 9.Neuromorphic computing:Neuromorphic computing is an approach to computer engineering that designs hardware and software systems to mi
126、mic the structure and function of the human brain.22 This development may help improve efficiency and allow machines to perform more complex tasks.However,brain-like computing architecture may be vulnerable to new types of attack that exploit their learning capabilities.There is potential for bias,a
127、s well as potential data extraction from neuromorphic systems that have“learned”sensitive information,and the unpredictability of these systems raises concerns about their use in critical applications.10.Volumetric displays and holography:Advanced 3D displays could be used for sophisticated phishing
128、 or social engineering attacks.Securing the data used to generate holograms becomes crucial in preventing unauthorized replication,and there is potential for the creation of false environments that could manipulate decision-making in critical situations.These additional examples further illustrate t
129、he complex and interconnected nature of security challenges in emerging technologies.They underscore the need for forward-thinking security strategies that can anticipate and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.The rapid pace of technological advances means that security c
130、onsiderations must be integral to the development process,requiring collaboration across disciplines and sectors to effectively address these challenges.Navigating Cyber Resilience in the Age of Emerging Technologies13Quantifying impact,measurement and data analysis4Quantifying the impact of emergin
131、g technologies is a complex but essential task in todays rapidly evolving landscape.Effective measurement involves several key considerations.1.Developing comprehensive metrics:A balanced set of metrics is required to accurately measure the impact of emerging technologies.This should include both qu
132、antitative measures,such as economic outcomes and number of cybersecurity incidents,and qualitative measures such as an assessment of societal,ethical and regulatory implications.For instance,evaluating the societal impact of AI might include assessing its effect on employment,privacy and decision-m
133、aking autonomy.2.Holistic risk assessment:Evaluating emerging technologies such as AI,quantum computing and IoT requires a holistic risk assessment framework.This should consider the increased attack surface,the complexity of threat analysis and potential skills gaps within organizations.Developing
134、a structured approach to identifying,assessing and mitigating risks is crucial for maintaining a resilient cybersecurity posture.3.Standardized measurement approaches:To enable meaningful comparisons and benchmarking throughout different sectors and regions,standardized methods for measuring the imp
135、act of emerging technologies are necessary.This could involve developing industry-wide or global standards for assessing technological readiness,security and performance,allowing for a consistent and comparable analysis of the impact of different technologies.4.Data collection and analysis:Robust da
136、ta-collection mechanisms are essential for accurate impact assessment.They should gather comprehensive data on technology adoption rates,economic outcomes,cybersecurity incidents and societal effects.Advanced analytics and AI can process this data to derive actionable insights,supporting more inform
137、ed decision-making and policy development.5.Contextual analysis:The impact of emerging technologies can vary significantly based on the context in which they are deployed.Measurements should therefore take into account factors such as an organizations position in the supply chain,its relationship to
138、 critical business processes and the broader national or regional context in which the technology is used.This contextual understanding is crucial to accurately assess the risks and benefits of technology adoption.6.Interdisciplinary approach:Quantifying the impact of emerging technologies requires
139、input from multiple disciplines,including technology experts,economists,social scientists and ethicists.An interdisciplinary approach such as this ensures a comprehensive assessment that considers technological performance and the broader societal,economic and ethical implications.7.Continuous monit
140、oring and adaptation:Given the rapid pace of technological change,impact measurement should be an ongoing process.Regular reassessment and adaptation of metrics and analysis methods are necessary to stay up to date with evolving technologies and their effects,ensuring that measurement approaches rem
