I believe that the article “Social Cybersecurity An Emerging  National Security Requirement” is a very informative article about the relatively new concept of social cybersecurity. The article states that cybersecurity is like using a computer to hack into other computers and social cybersecurity is using computers to hack into humans. This is fascinating because you wouldn’t think that it is possible to “hack” a human. However, people have been “hacking” other people for a long time, sometimes without even noticing. Hacking someone is just tricking them into believing something else whether it is done positively or negatively. I also believe that this article shares a lot of important information, because it talks about how social cybersecurity is becoming a big part of how wars and battles will be fought. The article says “An actor can win the next war before it has even begun. In fact, reflecting the change from periodic conflict to continual competition, senior leaders in the Russian General Staff have claimed, “Wars are not declared but have already begun.” ” This shows that social cybersecurity will be on the rise in future wars because being able to have the upper hand or even “win” before the war has even started is a huge advantage, so knowing this concept or using it to your advantage will be an essential part of how a country follows through with its attacks. In conclusion, this article shows how social cybersecurity works. It also shows the importance of social cybersecurity in war and how it has already been used in the past.
