Future of cyber: is this how the world ends?

Last year broke all records in terms of cyber-attacks on companies, government, and individuals. But fast forward 5 years, or 10, and the situation could get much, much worse? What exactly is the worst-case scenario and how close are we to experiencing it? And how do we set the groundwork to protect against catastrophic cyber attacks? What does the future of cyber defence look like, and who will be driving innovation in coming years?
