;Digital twins rely on data to accurately represent whatever they model, making them targets for hackers.
- The global digital twin market was valued at $11.1B in 2022;and will grow;to eventually hit $155.83B;in 2030, according to Grand View Research.
- Digital twins allow the testing and behavioral analysis of real-world systems, such as aircraft or manufacturing plants, using data from the system itself.
- Security leaders suggest digital twins could present opportunities for new attack types, including the "evil digital twin."
- The risks and dangers surrounding digital twins include technical, privacy, security, and ethical challenges.
- If hackers were to evolve a new attack type, there is a possibility that organizations could not detect it.
