Research cyberbiosecurity and how it relates to the various biotechnology industries.

Research should include

• defining cyberbiosecurity as a field that aims to identify and mitigate security risks fostered by the digitization of biology and biotechnology automation
• recognizing the potential for or actual malicious destruction, misuse, or exploitation of valuable information, processes, and material at the interface of the life sciences and digital worlds
• types of cyberattacks affecting the biotechnology industry
  • managing security risks
  • protecting scientific data and intellectual property
  • ransomware
  • threat mitigation strategies.

Process/Skill Questions:

• How important is data security and governance to the industry, and how has this changed over the years as new discoveries are made and biotechnology becomes a more lucrative target for cybercriminals?
• What considerations need to be made in terms of data security for cloud-based platforms?
• What are the effects of intellectual property theft?
