Cyberspace is an ever more important aspect of the exponential growth of digitalisation. The irruption of enabling technologies, 5G and the new reality imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic are just some elements that are changing the game board. Are we ready for the opportunities and threats that these scenarios are creating?

Technological evolution is increasingly disruptive. Predicting such quantum leaps in the curve of technological development requires greater vision, foresight and adaptability.
