In June 2018, in Israel Cyber Week, a large annual international cybersecurity conference, Mr. Bruce Schneier warned the delegates of a serious security problem regarding automated tech.
Mr. Bruce emphasized that there is the feasibility of integrity and availability attacks in healthcare and transportation. To be more specific, “What might happen if your pacemaker is hacked and it delivers a lethal charge, but what if I took over some inter-connected robot toy and tripped you in your house,” he asked.
He called for people’s awareness about the problems that we might encounter as technology is becoming autonomous. It is essential to enhance security so as to keep technology under control.
Mr. Bruce is an internationally renowned security technologist, named a “security guru” by The Economist. In 2015, he was honored by BGF as the Business Leader in the Cybersecurity for dedicating his career to the betterment of technology, security, privacy and Internet.
