In this article, we discuss the increasing concern and respect to cybersecurity as a means of national security. Cyber criminals have had a large increase in attack rates and even so, success rates. With a rise in criminal activity, the need for prevention and refurbishing has become more prominent. More so, these attacks have begun reaching more global targets. The generation of technology and the internet has opened the door to wider ranges, more targets, and increased vulnerabilities.

The most dangerous thing about improving our digital devices, is the growing reliance by the world. If we continue to move in this direction, our defenses and protection strategies must rise tenfold. We are narrowing our vulnerabilities down for attackers as we solely rely on our devices. Now, our cellphones and computers are becoming our most risky artifacts.

The government will continue to search for methods of safety procedures, however the criminals will not back down. There will always be motive and the idea of reward for cyber criminals. Cyber technology has made a drastic break in the way we conduct our societies and global environments. That being said, it is important that the individuals that rely on said devices, also take precaution and be wary of the dangers of the internet. Practicing safe browsing and maintaining their information security is of the upmost importance.
