security challenges.
On the one hand, cyberspace makes universal connectivity possible and eases free flow
of information, services and ideas. It is thereby a field that stimulates entrepreneurship,
strengthens socio-economic progress and creates new opportunities every day in all
business sectors.The change caused by digital transformation of production processes
is demonstrated globally at an unprecedented rate. Artificial intelligence, robotics,
big data, blockchain and the Internet of Things are already with us, although the real
transforming power is still to be unleashed. Its implications go beyond technology,
extending to new social models and delving into personal relations and ethics.
On the other hand, digitalisation transforms security and lays down some serious
challenges. Cyberspace is structured as a battleground where information and data
privacy are high-value assets in an environment with greater geopolitical competition,
reorganisation of power and individual empowerment. Consequently, booming
connectivity and greater dependence on networks and systems, not to mention digital
components, objects and devices, create vulnerabilities and make it hard to protect
information properly.
