My belief is that technical advantages and capabilities are becoming greater that we will
be able to maintain and handle in the near future, going through these courses and
understanding what cybersecurity entails, it has briden my understanding, and it has got
me concerned. To read that professionals are losing the interest in using the word
cybersecurity, and that it’s losing popularity, well I think we are stepping into another
form of evolution into the field. With new challenges coming from AI, all the
misinformation that entities are using to create an advantage, and plugging anything
and everything to the internet in a wireless domain from electric cars to anything smart
like thermostats, well, we are opening the doors to cyberattacks it is a concern. People
can be very naive and will believe anything, we have seen it over and over again, so it is
a real threat that can affect a nation on a deeper level creating a catastrophic outcome.
Especially now that people are breaking downloadable speeds so fast that they can
download the whole Nextflix library in just one second, some called it innovation, but do
we have the same defence capabilities as well? Probably not. With these 402 Tbps
internet speeds, can open a new world of chaos and new uncertainties of an unknown
world of unpredictability can happen if we are not prepared, because in less than a blink
of an eye, we become victims of cybercrime.
We definitely need to incorporate better regulations and laws, not only at a state level,
but a standard across the whole world, to be able to learn and share information to be
able to respond faster to certain attacks and tackle together challenges and
opportunities.
