THE FUTURE OF CYBERSECURITY: EMERGING THREATS AND DEFENSE STRATEGIES

Abstract

As the digital landscape expands, so too does the complexity of cybersecurity threats. This article explores the major emerging threats in the cyber domain, including AI-powered attacks, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the increasing attack surface of the Internet of Things (IoT). We then analyze potential defense strategies that organizations and individuals can adopt to navigate this evolving threat landscape. These include investing in proactive threat intelligence, fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness, and embracing innovative technologies like blockchain and homomorphic encryption. Finally, we consider the crucial role of international cooperation and ethical considerations in shaping a more secure digital future.
