One may argue that the difference between a cyber security professional and a cyber criminal is a set of ethical beliefs.

While we still won’t be able to predict everything, we can rely on history to predict what tomorrow would bring. We will focus on ransomware reality, cyber warfare, vulnerabilities, and technology advancements, as well as AI and quantum computing.
