The presenter talks about his own 5 laws of cybersecurity. Do you agree with them all? Do you propose any changes you would like to bring in?
I feel that the presenter’s cybersecurity laws provide a good foundation for helping people to have a foundation of cybersecurity and how it connects with their everyday online lives. Understanding that all technology has vulnerabilities that can and will be exploited, tackling the concept of trust on the Internet, and knowing that there is always an opportunity for hacking with each new piece of technology are all valuable for the everyday person to know while using the Internet. However, while the presenter felt that Law 5 of referring back to Law 1 wasn’t a copout, I feel that it was, despite how it’s a reinforcement of acknowledging the existence of vulnerabilities. The change I would make is always to stay up-to-date with cybersecurity. This change applies to reading security news, patching devices to keep them protected, and informing others about cybersecurity so that they can stay knowledgeable as well. It’s a law that offers a bit more guidance rather than just going back to another one.
