Description
Objective: The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) requires a systematic review of literature to assess the current state of research on technology developments relevant to convergence and cyber security. The main output will be a heatmap of research themes and trends. For definition, technological convergence is “the tendency for technologies that were originally unrelated to become more closely integrated and even unified as they develop and advance”. When examining and forecasting the cyber security implications of technology convergence, initiating research can be challenging due to the vast amount of unknown, or undocumented, information. This complexity is compounded by the fact that technology convergence is often covered/studied, without explicitly being labelled, or recognised, as ‘convergence’.
DSIT would like a literature review that identifies research and developments for technology convergence, with relevance for cyber security, as high instances of particular terms or areas of research interest may point to direction of travel or trends. This is not intended to identify specific convergence risks, but instead to understand where research is currently directed. Due to the rapid pace of technology development, it is likely that this study will cover publications written from 2014 onwards. Where older documents are used, the report should justify why the information is relevant, up to date or useful.
