Module 10 Journal 2

Read this and write a journal entry summarizing your response to the article on social cybersecurity

            After I read the article about social cybersecurity provided by the class, it makes me see and agree with how significant social cybersecurity is and how warfare and cybersecurity changed from the past. In the twentieth century, the world and many nations focus on physical warfare and use some technologies to hack other technology to get information, but now in the twenty-first century the world focus on information and psychological warfare instead, on the other hand, we can say in the new generation war will relate or be dominated by the information and psychological. Because from the growth of technology in the present day, makes the decentralization of information and doesn’t require physical presence to get information which makes “high connectivity, low latency, low cost of entry, multiple distribution points without intermediaries, and a total disregard for physical distance or national borders.” (Carley, 2019) It makes other nations’ malicious groups can use that technology to make an information blitzkrieg to drive a wedge of distrust between society and government, and also between society and military which will make severe damage to the nation. Therefore, to solve this problem or to win this information warfare the leaders of both government and military must understand and have knowledge about social cybersecurity that will make them can prepare policies to cope with the information blitzkrieg when it happens. Moreover, they need to educate society about this social cybersecurity topic such as the current risk, the modern information environment, etc. which support eliminating distrust between society and government (and military). So, it is understandable why social cybersecurity is necessary for the present day and maybe in the future.
