Emerging Threats to Neurotechnology
Neurotechnology is expanding from clinical applications into commercial platforms, creating new cybersecurity risks as volumes of neurological and biometric data grow. The US and China view neurotechnology as strategically important, with the US leading in firm count and the military investing in brain-computer interfaces, while China subsidizes wearable technology and pursues human-machine integration research. Neurotechnology companies, military labs, and academic institutions face mounting threats from state-sponsored espionage, insider threats, IP theft, and cybercriminals targeting valuable neurological datasets for extortion, surveillance, or intelligence gathering.
Why it matters: Security teams protecting neurotechnology firms, research institutions, and organizations collecting neurological data must anticipate heightened targeting from nation-state and criminal actors seeking intellectual property and sensitive biometric datasets, while regulatory frameworks lag technical advances.
