Cybersecurity for Next-Generation Connectivity Systems--Rethinking Digital Architectures to Safeguard the Next Generation From Cybersecurity Breaches
This paper outlines the reasons why next-generation architecture is needed that can protect technology, systems, networks, and data in a dynamic risk environment. Although the Internet is integral to the flow of information across the globe and national boundaries, it was not built for the highly sensitive, critical data we…
DIITA-Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Workstream White Paper - Gender and Technology: The Case of the Energy Sector
Energy policy is often formulated in a gender-neutral manner; that is, it is assumed by policy makers that women and men use and benefit equally from current energy systems. However, research shows that energy policy is, in fact, gender blind--policies are incorrectly considered neutral by policy makers since they ignore…
