In a world that is transforming digitally, cybersecurity is both a line of defense and a vulnerability for many organizations. While big corporations can afford to be protected, smaller organizations and the public sector, which make up the majority of the economies of the world, are becoming extremely vulnerable every passing day. Artificial intelligence is rattling the battlefield, providing ammunition to both sides. We at the Oregon Cybersecurity Center of Excellence focus our efforts on educating and creating awareness in sectors ranging from energy to health. We have worked closely with the US Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, and other national and local agencies to identify technological gaps and R&D opportunities in the cybersecurity field through technology roadmaps. This talk will provide insight to these efforts.
