Summary / Abstract (Note) | INFORMATION and communications technology (ICT) is of paramount importance in the modern world. This statement is taking on new significance today. The fact is that, until very recently, humans were regarded as the primary source and consumer of information. With the advent of digital transformation mechanisms and use of the Internet of Things, most connections and the bulk of information are generated and consumed not by humans but by inanimate objects. And the distortion of information in this new space leads to threats that are more global than activities aimed at deception. By creating a world without borders through the total "connection of the unconnected," humanity is becoming more vulnerable than ever. In this era of rapid data proliferation and the extreme vulnerability of individuals and entire nations to the dangers of information warfare, not only must we concentrate our efforts on providing truthful information to people, but we must protect against potential technogenic challenges. |
