Hi @teach-me

Cybersecurity is an interesting subject because there is so much to it.  We are only as secure as our weakest point.  Just like a house where we put the best locks on our front door, backed-up by alarms and cameras etc.  If we leave the back window open, that is where the thief will come in.  As such, we need to critically examine all possible angles of attack and it is often the human element that surfaces as the weakest link.

I found your point on deep fakes very interesting.  I think you are right that we will see more deep fake attacks using a degree of sophistication to con unexpecting users that what they are seeing is true.  Interesting times!.

Thanks for sharing.  Upvoted.

Solid read buddy. Welcome within project.hope community :)

@tipu curate

I wonder if current upcoming global recession will slow down technological advancements. It most likely will.

Any thoughts on that @teach-me?

Hello @teach-me,

nice article you wrote here!

Cybersecurity/InfoSec/OpSec is indeed a rapidly changing field of expertise... which is the reason I got into this over 20 years ago. I started out as an IT guy aka maid-for-all-work after my education back in 1985 and it was a wild ride up to here! Hahaha!

On the other hand, processes, frameworks and so on... it didn't change so much really in the last 10 years in that regard. Once you've integrated an working ITSM (IT service management) it's the good old cyclic "identify, protect, detect, respond, recover" - or some other variant depending on the framework you use - game.

There are indeed a lot of new InfoSec challenges we'll have to face coming out of the AI/ML field and as you correctly mentioned the deep fake threats are a relatively new threat that has to be dealt with too.

A good thing is that the awareness for InfoSec needs has dramatically risen in the last few year which makes my job a lot easier than it used to be.

Now you can expect that at an board meeting the board members will have a basic InfoSec understanding for the most part for instance. This applies to my job in house as the information security officer as well as for my work as an freelancing IT security consultant.

_Cheers!_

InfoSec threats increasingly make it into mainstream media even nowadays.

Cyber security should not be taken with levity as so many fraudulent activities spring up daily on the internet.

Hi @teach-me

Good theme and good comments.

This can definitely make a difference in this new technological world, each person is responsible for their own security and when it is no longer safe it is because the user no longer cares about their keys.

It is very good that they constantly remind themselves that we are the only ones who can cause a security breach

Hello @teach-me

Cyber security is always a very important issue to consider. But I see that it is managed by those who have the power to influence purchases or decisions, to create an opinion matrix, in that sense I think we should have a department of cyber security, something like the guardians of the guardians.
