There are many similarities and differences that pertain to the cybersecurity risk of the U.S. and China. First, they have a strong infrastructure to handle the traffic of internet that are run to their servers. On the contrary, the U.S. have no regulation and intervention on the internet, besides matters that relate to the federal agencies or can compromise the nation’s security. Basically, the internet is available for anyone. With China, there is a firewall that filters out certain sites to rely on its domestic sites. YouTube cannot be accessed in China, but everyone uses Tik-Tok to satisfy his/her video needs. The chances of getting hacked is lower because outside sites cannot be used as a medium to inject malware into the system. Also, they have a high GDP, which will likely make them a target for phishing and spam emails. There are tons of these phishing scams sent to random people, in hopes of getting someone to log in with their credentials to access their banking account. Once the hacker has the account information, he/she can disable the suspicious activity setting and continue to take out money, if a person does not notice the transactions. They also need to be aware of the insider threats that can occur to companies in both countries. Once an employee is fired, the employee may try to use his/her access to steal and leak the information on the internet to humiliate the company. Oftentimes, there are security precautions to prevent someone from accessing key information, but there are ways to bypass the restrictions, like borrowing a computer from a friend to steal the information via USB. There is also the risk of torrenting, because some of the files can contain malware on them and after they get spread, it can multiply to everyone else on the network. There needs to be a regulation on torrenting to prevent hackers from exploiting it for their plans.
