Any technology that brings convenience, also faces concerns over security. Warning calls about computer viruses from email and the internet are now disregarded as constant but insignificant problems. Cyber Attacks are escalating from large-scale theft and disruption of computer operations, to more lethal attacks that destroy systems and physical equipment—according to the head of the US Cyber Command. The security firm, McAfee, estimates that cyber attacks cost corporations and individuals over $1 trillion globally every year.

Technology “fortresses” such as United Health Systems, Google, Sony, Morgan Stanley, NATO, as well as numerous lesser-known corporations, have fallen victim to cyber attacks in the past year. They had firewalls in place, antivirus scanners installed, spam control, automatic updates, and strong password authentication. Yet all of these organizations were hacked and sensitive information was stolen in high profile data breaches.

As the cloud continues to expand its reach from computers to mobile devices today to self driving cars and smart homes in the future, so do the opportunities for hackers to infiltrate even more aspects of our corporate and personal lives. Powerful innovations designed specifically to defend against these new Cyber attacks are quickly emerging. Hear about opportunities and implications for entrepreneurs in this evolving ecosystem.
