Quantum computing, artificial intelligence and digital identity products pose a critical risk to the hyper-connected global economy. Unless action is taken now, by 2025 next generation technology has the potential to overwhelm the defenses of the global security community, says a just released 14-month study conducted by the World Economic Forum and the University of Oxford. The study, based on the expertise of more than 100 leaders in the cybersecurity community spanning businesses, governments, academia and civil society, concludes that the current approach to cybersecurity needs to be overhauled and recommends specific actions that need to be taken by business and governments.  If these recommendations are not adopted the report warns that  “we will be left with a digital ecosystem that is not resilient to the emerging systemic threat and risk landscape and the potential benefits of the global digital ecosystem may not be realized.”  Read on to learn more about this story and this week’s most important technology news impacting business.
