The Most Important Types of Cyber Attacks that France is Expected to Face in the Future and the Cyber Security Measures it Must Implement to Protect Critical Infrastructure, Telecommunication Networks and Personal Data

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, nations like France find themselves on the frontline of an escalating cyber warfare scenario. This abstract provides an insightful overview of the most significant types of cyber attacks that France is expected to face in the future, offering a comprehensive analysis based on current trends and emerging technologies. The research delves into the realm of advanced persistent threats (APTs), examining the sophisticated techniques employed by state-sponsored actors and cybercriminal organizations to compromise critical infrastructure, sensitive data, and national security. It explores the evolving landscape of ransomware attacks, focusing on the potential impact on both public and private sectors, and the looming threat of extortion campaigns that could cripple essential services. Furthermore, the abstract sheds light on the rising concern of supply chain attacks, as interconnected global networks make businesses and government entities vulnerable to malicious actors seeking to exploit weaknesses in third-party systems. The research also explores the nuances of social engineering attacks, recognizing the human element as a critical vulnerability that threat actors may exploit through targeted phishing campaigns and manipulation tactics. In addition, the abstract touches upon the growing menace of Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities, acknowledging the increased interconnectivity of devices and the potential for large-scale disruptions. It also considers the implications of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing in shaping the future threat landscape. By examining these diverse aspects of cyber threats, this abstract aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on the challenges France is likely to encounter in the digital realm. As Cyber security becomes an integral component of national defense, understanding these anticipated threats is crucial for policymakers, security experts, and technology professionals seeking to fortify France’s resilience against the evolving nature of cyber attacks.

Brine Salinity: A Deciding Factor for Carbondioxide Dissolution and Trapping during Geological Sequestration

Adequate geological storage of carbondioxide in saline aquifers is a function of several factors that requires understanding and examination. Previous works have argue that solubility of carbondioxide in brine decreases as the salinity of the brine increases, but it is unclear in the literature the impact of salinity on carbondioxide (CO2) trapping during sequestration. This work adopt a simulation based approach to determine CO2 dissolution and trapping at different salinities. A dataset was written and validated with CMG’s greenhouse gases simulator and the thermodynamics properties calculation carried out with Peng-Robinson equation of state. Four sensitivity analyses was conducted with brines of no salinity (pure water), salinity of 100000ppm, 200000ppm and 300000ppm and model outputs compared for CO2 sequestration. The result shows that CO2 solubilised in water with zero level salinity, and a lower gas cap size was formed at the top of the structure. Later, gas cap size increases as the salinity level increases at the top of the structure. Also, the moles soluble in water decreases as the salinity level increases with the least moles for zero water salinity. Alternatively to the moles solubilised, the number of moles of CO2 trapped increases with the salinity level. CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers is the best storage techniques but its injection into aquifer of high salinity reduced its solubility.
