Alin-Marius Stanciu · 2025
This paper reviews emerging technologies shaping the future of cybersecurity, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain Technology, and Quantum Computing. We explore how AI enhances threat detection, anomaly recognition, and predictive risk management, while also introducing new privacy and adversarial challenges. Blockchain's role in ensuring data integrity and secure transactions is examined, along with its limitations. We also discuss the growing importance of quantum computing, highlighting both its potential for advanced security applications and its threat to traditional cryptography. Finally, we outline how these technologies may converge to create more resilient cybersecurity systems. This review aims to provide newcomers with a broad understanding of current trends, challenges, and opportunities in cybersecurity innovation.
