- How can data flows be rapidly improved, promoting data sharing across research, government and industry to allow secure collaboration?
- How can emerging technologies be deployed in a safe and secure way to enhance the protective security and resilience of transport systems?
- Constructing secure evidential cases against offenders in a changing technological context.
- How should the UK mitigate the risks associated with emerging technologies, while taking advantage of the opportunities?
- What digital forensic advances can support crypto-currency investigations?
- What are the most common connected technology convergence points we will see realised in the UK in the next 5-10 years? What are the applications of these converged connected technologies? Which sectors will be most impacted? Will there be an increased cyber attack surface for converged technologies? How can the cyber security of converged technologies be managed?
- • What are the best ways to ensure that AI and other digital technology are used safely, ethically, and in ways that protect the data and interests of children, our workforce, and bodies? What forms of collaborative working, regulation and enforcement may be appropriate?
- Preventing criminal, hostile or mischievous use of autonomous and unmanned systems, or attacks of the systems themselves, especially through “security by design”.
