Abstract
The WannaCry and NotPetya attacks alerted the world to the massive disruption that can be caused by cyber attacks. They also highlighted weaknesses and a lack of investment in our defences. Since then, the threats we face have moved on, having become significantly more sophisticated not least due to the exploitation of artificial intelligence and machine learning. So are we ready for the next big attack?
