From rapidly evolving cyber security threats to vehicular-based terror across Europe and extreme weather events triggered by man-made climate change, the security and resilience sector has its work cut out to keep the world safe.
Europe fell victim to a string of unpredictable attacks in recent years; Yahoo saw its share value fall by $350bn over 48 hours after the largest security breach in history was revealed; the NHS found their physical assets left vulnerable after a ransomware attack disrupted their ambulance service and faced thousands of physical and cyber threats during the coronavirus pandemic; the FBI and Apple went to war on encryption in 2018 and Airbnb properties were left in chaos when a smartlock update went wrong.
That the world’s technology is becoming more interconnected is creating unprecedented opportunities for making society more efficient and sustainable. However, it is also creating new vectors of attack for hackers, terrorists and organised crime. With the world more interconnected, the consequences of things going wrong are enormous.
