Some topics covered include:
Why emerging cyberattack techniques and the democratisation of biotechnology is increasing cyberbiosecurity risk.
Why we need to focus on promoting cybersecurity and biosecurity for bioweapons in today’s age. As compared to naturally-occuring biological diseases.
Next steps for those interested in diving deeper into the field.
This talk is part of a series of talks on technological risks. Other talks in the series include:
An introduction to safety engineering by me. Link to details here.
