Digital transformation during the past year is occurring at the rate of 7 years for every 6 months. The same period saw more data breaches and malicious cyber intrusions and attacks than in the last 15 years combined. Despite this increased risk from a pervasively changing digital world, the potential of technology such as blockchain and AI is undervalued and often misunderstood, or seen as an afterthought, not foundational as a solution to risk mitigation and elimination. The security industry, have an inherent responsibility to remain abreast of threats and opportunities from emergent technology
to best serve the economy.
