This session explores the critical and growing need for molecular level information security to protect human genetic data as gene editing technologies such as CRISPR and Cas9 continue to advance. As these tools move from research labs into agriculture, medicine, and industry, the potential for misuse, manipulation, and unauthorized access to genomic information increases rapidly. Protecting our biological integrity and genetic privacy is no longer a theoretical concern, it has become an essential part of modern cybersecurity and public health resilience.

In this session you will:

•  Understand the potential risks of biocyber attacks on genetic data
• Explore comprehensive INFOSEC strategies to safeguard against these threats
• Learn about the implications of genetic data security on personal privacy and healthcare
