From Sneakernet to Quantum Internet: Navigating the Evolution of Cybersecurity
Over the past few decades, the cybersecurity landscape has undergone significant changes, transitioning from the early days of sneakernet to the current era dominated by cloud computing and anticipating the forthcoming quantum internet. This keynote presentation traces this journey, examining how attackers have evolved from hobbyists to professionals through developing malware, often leaving defenders a step behind.
We will look into key technological advancements poised to shape the future of cybersecurity. This includes the development of heterogeneous systems encompassing on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and distributed environments, coupled with the potential fragmentation of the internet due to geopolitical forces and the effects of Generative AI on the current ad-driven model. Meanwhile, technologies like 5G/6G and satellite networking may become increasingly deployed changing how we think about ‘corporate’ networks.
We will try to learn from the past to predict the future equipping attendees with the insights necessary to navigate the future complex and dynamic challenges.
