Cyberbiosecurity: Adapting to Emerging Threats in the Biosecurity Landscape

Cyberbiosecurity is an emerging field that addresses the vulnerabilities and risks at the intersection of cybersecurity and biosecurity. [...] The Need for Cyberbiosecurity in Southeast Asia The importance of enhancing cyberbiosecurity is paramount, especially in Southeast Asia, given the increasing use of digital applications in biotechnology. [...] There is a lack of awareness and understanding of the potential cybersecurity risks and threats associated with digital lab data and digital information about biological samples inside laboratories. [...] It is therefore important for biosecurity risk management experts and cybersecurity professionals to collaborate and jointly create standards, technical guidance, and best practices related to the enhancement of cyberbiosecurity in tandem with existing biorisk management practices in life science-related facilities. [...] Collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors can lead to the development of cutting-edge technologies, technical guidance and good practices that enhance cyberbiosecurity across the region.
