The number is an increase in the estimated $3 billion reported in 2017. As more and more companies and general consumers rely on connected devices, the prospect of becoming a victim of cybercrime has increased. The same study estimates that around half of the Earth's population interacts with some form of a digital device daily. As the population continues to grow and as technology becomes cheaper and more widely available, cybercrime will inevitably increase, creating renewed challenges for security practitioners. Fortunately, several emerging technologies are beginning to take shape that can help digital forensic investigators.The ever-evolving nature of technology will inevitably create new tools that might be useful for forensic investigations. Many of these tools are only starting to take shape while others are being tested in the real world. According to the Infosec Institute, some of these emerging technologies include artificial intelligence, Li-Fi, and machine vision.Current cyber threats are getting more complicated and advanced with the rapid evolution of adversarial techniques. Networked computing and portable electronic devices have broadened the role of digital forensics beyond traditional investigations into computer crime. The overall increase in the use of computers as a way of storing and retrieving high-security information requires appropriate security measures to protect the entire computing and communication scenario worldwide. Further, with the introduction of the internet and its underlying technology, facets of information security are becoming a primary concern to protect networks and cyber infrastructures from various threats.Quantum computing technology has significant potential to significantly change the field of cybersecurity, with significant opportunities and threats rapidly arising. For example, the possibility of optimized quantum computers capable of solving complex problems frequently used by cryptographic algorithms would threaten the confidentiality of our communication channels. Simultaneously, the implementation of urban quantum communication systems might provide an infrastructure for the implementation of potentially encrypted messaging protocols to avoid this threat. Although the given descriptions are significant, quantum technologies have a much broader impact on computer security applications.Let us know your thoughts.APRIL - 25 - 2022, Volume 08 - 04 Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.(ISSN 2691-4034) To subscribe to ENTERPRISE SECURITYVisit www.enterprisesecuritymag.com Russell Thomas Managing Editor russell@enterprisesecuritymag.comJoshua Parker
