Cyber Security
| Cybersecurity may well be the most important function in the modern world. Without it, nothing else can be trusted, in any sector of the economy. |
 Cyber Security is far more than just protecting data. Security is about protecting the functionality of IT. It involves confidentiality, availability and integrity of resources. This higher order approach to cyber security requires vision, leadership, and actions in dimensions of people, process and technology. |
| We also need to draw your attention to the higher order concept of Cyber War. This is, unfortunately, something all technologists should be familiar with now. The most critical piece to read on that topic now is Now That You Are A Soldier In The Cyber War You Must Know Your Cognitive Biases followed by: Main Street Cybersecurity: Can Email Be Safe? and Time for Transformational Cybersecurity! |
