<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Digital innovations and the Internet of things devices have totally redefined the world’s everyday life. Remote working has been standardized and so has a variety of software tools that support the new era.
Cloud computing has dominated ordinary ICT infrastructures and along with the arrival of high-speed communication technologies have created a new paradigm that generates large volumes of data that artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques process.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">However, although these developments have automated and improved the operations of modern businesses and governments, they have also created concerns for the society and, in several cases, problems. After all,
the increasing popularity of the newly born technologies, has made them attractive to malicious parties who are willing to take advantage of the broadened attack surface. Additionally, the lack of legal boundaries enabled the gathering and processing of personal
and sensitive data without the users’ consent.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
