As the article suggests, the next war is digital and it has already begun. The article puts major
emphasis on the fact that social cybersecurity is incredibly important because understanding
social cybersecurity red flags is hand in hand with detecting and predicting the digital future.
Lieutenant Colonel Beskow and Doctor Carley also speak on the significance in difference
between what is stated as social cybersecurity and traditional cybersecurity. That difference
being that while cybersecurity deals with the hacking of technology, its counterpart attacks the
human itself. The last major edition to the article was the mention of bots as another problem
with the social cybersecurity issue. Bots are able to apply themselves as reinforcers for fake
news as it is spread on the internet. Not only are they able to spread fake news but also go into
the comment sections and act like multiple people supporting the comment to increase its social
value as truth.
