Silicon In Focus Podcast: A New Age of Cybersecurity?

2023 will go down as a transitional year for cybersecurity and information technology in general. Quantum Computing is still in its infancy, and artificial intelligence is still limited to creating (mostly) authentic written and visual content rather than Artificial General Intelligence. Transformative technology is coming soon, but in the meantime, we are still struggling with rising rates of online crime and a shaky economy throughout much of the developed world.

And 2024 maybe when we start to see these themes really begin to change the world, with their impact felt in the realm of cybersecurity and, ultimately, in all our lives. In this article, we will be looking at some of the most important developments that our experts see coming in 2024, both in technology and the wider world it intersects with.
