Kaspersky Cybersecurity Summit 2017 just wrapped up, so now is a good time to look back and reflect on the issues and causes raised during the show. The event was labelled “Next,” as in, “What’s next for cybersecurity and technology?” The daylong event packed in everything from medical-equipment hacking and quantum computing to the space race.<\/p>\n

Here are five things I learned at the summit in Dublin.<\/p>\n

1. Blockchain is about more than just bitcoin<\/h2>\n

A panel of experts from a range of fields spoke in detail about how the blockchain could be utilized for everything from helping farmers and growers better understand the food chain to decentralizing online voting to make it resistant to hacking or manipulation. Indeed, Genevieve Leveille, founder of AgriLedger, believes blockchain, being totally decentralized, can bring about a fundamental shift in democracy. The discussion also briefly touched on Kaspersky Lab’s latest announcement about the Polys voting app, which is based around blockchain technology.<\/p>\n
