Interconnected technologies are the growing network of devices, systems and applications connected to the internet and each other.

Kaspersky conducted a study ‘Connecting the future of business’, which aims to help companies stay ahead of the changes interconnected technologies bring, posing critical questions regarding the way cybersecurity must adapt to them. For this purpose, the company surveyed 560 senior IT security leaders from North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Turkiye and Africa, Russia and Asia-Pacific.

In this survey, Kaspersky sought to examine what respondents think of the following interconnected technologies:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI),
• Internet of Things (IoT),
• Augmented reality (AR), Virtual reality (VR) and digital twins,
• 6G and converged cloud networks,
• Web 3.0 which enables decentralized applications, blockchain smart contracts and user-managed data,
• Data spaces that enable seamless data sharing in collaborative settings.
