In a digital age marked by rapid technological advancement and increasing uncertainty, the question is no longer if cyber threats will target us, but when.
That’s why I’m proud to announce the release of “Blockchain, AI & Cybersecurity – Part 2” — the continuation of a journey that began in the first volume, where I explored the complex, ever-evolving digital battlefield.
This second volume dives deeper into the global cybersecurity landscape, analyzing how today’s threats intersect with geopolitics, AI, blockchain, and financial infrastructure. It’s a book born not only from technical research but from observing the real-world implications of cyber attacks on nations, businesses, and individuals.
Some of the key themes explored:
- Cybersecurity is a pillar of national security and economic stability. From ransomware shutting down hospitals to data breaches impacting millions, digital risks have become systemic.
- The global divide in cybersecurity strategies. How the EU’s regulatory approach, the U.S.’s innovation-driven model, and China’s cyber-sovereignty reveal deeper geopolitical priorities.
- AI and blockchain: defenders and disruptors. While AI enhances threat detection and blockchain secures data integrity, these same tools are being exploited by adversaries for attacks, fraud, and manipulation.
- The rise of CBDCs and digital financial surveillance. State-backed digital currencies offer efficiency—but at what cost to privacy and autonomy?
- Real-world case studies. From threats against the 2024 Paris Olympics to widespread outages caused by vendor vulnerabilities, the book highlights how even tech giants remain vulnerable.
- Human-centric cybersecurity Technology alone isn’t enough. The book emphasizes building a culture of awareness, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises that face increasing risk with limited resources.
This book is more than a technical manual — it’s a strategic and ethical reflection on the challenges we face as our digital and physical worlds become indistinguishable.
And now, something about me.
