I decided to compare the United States with the smaller country of Poland. The risks for these two countries are about the same but for different reasons. We will start off with the United States. The US is a major world power with many advanced systems and technology and this comes with high end cybersecurity as well. The issue that arises here is that because of the increasingly valuable technology it is worth more to other people or countries to spend time and resources trying to get around the cybersecurity and gain information that the US is trying to keep secret and out of the public eye. This situation makes the United States vulnerable not because of the strength of the cybersecurity but because of the value behind it and the drive behind the people trying to gain access to that information. Poland however is a completely different story. While Poland is not a poor or underdeveloped country by any means it isn’t as big as the United States which leads to their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage that Poland has over the United States’ situation is that people are less inclined to hack or breach through their cybersecurity systems. This is due to the fact that countries like Poland dont have as much valuable information being guarded so people or other countries are less likely to spend resources breaking in. This may sound good but it does lead to one major disadvantage, the strength of their cybersecurity. See while countries like the US constantly have to worry about threats so they constantly update their systems other countries such as Poland dont experience as many of these threats so they will tend to update it less. This leads to major vulnerability if someone does end up using resources to break into their information. In conclusion the risks in these two countries are about the same but for entirely different reasons.
