    EMERGING TRENDS IN CYBERSECURITY

                                       “The digital world is always changing. New technologies are born every day
                                                   and with them, new cybersecurity challenges arise.”

                     Emerging trends in cybersecurity reflect the fast-changing digital landscape and the increasing
                     sophistication  of cyber  threats.  Modern  technologies  such  as  artificial  intelligence,  machine
                     learning, cloud computing and the Internet of Things are reshaping how security systems are
                     designed and implemented. These advancements are leading to smarter threat detection, stronger
                     authentication methods and more automated security operations. As digital environments grow

                     in scale and complexity, innovative solutions like zero trust security, biometric verification and
                     predictive analytics are becoming essential. These trends highlight the ongoing shift toward more
                     intelligent, adaptive and proactive cyber protection.

                     Internet of Things (IoT) Security

                     The Internet of Things or IoT, refers to a network of everyday objects such as smart speakers, smart
                     TVs, fitness bands, refrigerators, cars and security cameras that are connected to the Internet and
                     can collect, transmit or receive data. These interconnected devices improve efficiency, comfort
                     and automation but also expand the attack surface for cybercriminals. Each device added to an
                     IoT network becomes a potential entry point for unauthorised access.

                     In large-scale  environments  such  as  smart  cities, IoT devices  manage  tasks  like  automated
                     streetlights,  traffic control systems  and public  safety  sensors. If  an attacker  gains  control  of
                     such systems, critical disruptions, traffic failures or safety risks may occur. This makes securing
                     every IoT device through strong authentication, regular updates, encrypted communication and
                     continuous monitoring an essential part of modern and future cybersecurity.

                                                                                            The Future of Cyber Security   117
