Abstract—Considering emerging technologies and applications is an important step in assessing future security needs. For example, Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) and Autonomous Systems have presented new cyber security challenges. The severity of such cyber threats is magnified as societies are becoming more and more dependent on such emerging technologies. The purpose of this paper is to identify these emerging technologies and the associated threat landscape based on current knowledge and ongoing research. This can help protect societies from cyber threats associated with such technologies.


Index Terms—Autonomous systems, emerging technologies, internet of things (IoT), vulnerabilities, cyber security, cyber threat.
