Description

This research explores the emerging field of cyberbiosecurity, which addresses the growing vulnerabilities at the intersection of biology and digital technology. As biological systems—from genomic databases to biomanufacturing platforms—become increasingly digitized, they also face rising threats from cyberattacks. Through case studies, stakeholder interviews, and surveys across biotech, healthcare, and cybersecurity sectors, the study uncovers gaps in preparedness and awareness. It proposes a cross-disciplinary framework to enhance resilience, advocating for tailored security protocols, policy development, and specialized training to protect the global bioeconomy from digital threats.
