The Importance of Comprehensive Information Security at the Molecular Level
About

This presentation explores the critical need for information security (INFOSEC) at the molecular level to safeguard our genetic information, especially with the rapid advancements in gene editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas9. As these technologies become more widespread, along with the rise of malicious tools like ransomware, concerns about the security and integrity of genetic data are escalating. Research suggests that we're approaching a time when the internet may be integrated directly into our bodies, transforming us into another endpoint within the expanding Internet of Things. Imagine the devastating impact of a biocyber attack, where a malicious actor could launch a DDoS attack on your brain or a vital organ. Given these risks, it is crucial to implement comprehensive INFOSEC measures at the molecular level to protect individual privacy, prevent malicious interference, and guard against errors or accidental mutations in genetic data that could lead to incorrect diagnoses or treatment plans, ultimately risking lives. This is not attacking devices in your body; this is attacking your body.
