The Impact of the Advanced Technologies over the Cyber Attacks Surface

Abstract

The article explores the changes are occurring in the security of the information and communication systems as a result of a state-of-the-art-technologies usage. The research is centered over the impact of new technologies on the cyber attack surface. The focus is on the synergy of a set of advanced technologies with existing digital environment and the consequences for cyber security particularly on the cyber attack surface extension. The study summarizes the evidences for increasing the surface area for attacks due to the advent of the listed advanced technologies. Explores how emerging technologies complicate cyber protection, introducing new risks as consequence from increasing possibilities for malicious threats. Indicate guidelines about future research related to refinement of legislation that is intended to regulate the cyber-physical world.
