New technologies in the global security context: the opportunity versus the challenge.- Marian Soto Soriguera

We are immersed in a process of global change determined by the emergence of new technologies that are causing a rapid evolution in the way of relating in all areas. These changes represent an advance from the physical to the digital, from the gradual to the immediate, from the palpable to the intangible.

All of this has a decisive influence on the formation of the new global security system, where new generation technological advances offer opportunities, but also pose challenges derived from disputes over their control, their use for illicit purposes or related to the expansion of the space of vulnerability as connectivity increases.

This article addresses digital transformation and its most important effects, its influence on the morphology of security risks and threats and the approach given to this phenomenon from the security policies of countries like Spain.
