ENISA has produced the first version of a report that provides an overview of key emerging technologies and their associated security challenges, and aims to identify future security issues associated with these technologies. It lays the groundwork for developing proposals, channelling knowledge development and proposing work priorities to ENISA stakeholders.
The goal of the document is not to provide an exhaustive overview of emerging technologies, but to highlight those trends that are seen to be important by the stakeholders from industry and academia that were consulted as part of the study. The main emerging technology areas identified at this point in time are:
The Internet of Things
Autonomous systems
Next generation virtualised infrastructures (including SDN and 5G)
Upcoming societal challenges
Virtual and augmented reality
The Internet of Bio-Nano things
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
ENISA plans to use this document as a basis to collect emerging security topics from a wider stakeholder basis. For this purpose, a working group from the current ENISA PSG has been created. Through the variety of their expertise, they will inject additional ideas to the document.
