Increased bandwidth will improve several operations onboard the large yacht, not just cybersecurity capabilities (see our companion story on satellite communications).

Cybersecurity experts see the potential of deploying “cyber-bots” into the internet to seek out and eliminate cyber threats. Finally, the biggest advances will take place with the widespread use and introduction of quantum computing technology.  We are still years out from the day to day use of quantum computers, but their use will completely change the landscape of not just cybersecurity, but how we operate in our day to day lives. Quantum computing will potentially help reduce the human input into system protection.  With all these advances in cybersecurity, there will be equal advances in the tools hackers use to gain access.  Crew training is going to continue to be an important part of our cybersecurity defences.
