Marques Underwood INSS 391 Security and the Future With the transition of companies leaning towards advancing through the usage of big data, cybersecurity and the trends in technology are creating an increase in threats. The goal is to protect the databases and devices used at these companies before they are hacked and compromised for unwanted reasons. We’ll see the general concerns with security in the IT field, and steps that specific companies are taking to prevent and adopt to the landscape of the future in security. Devices are increasing at a rapid pace these days, meaning the more data is being expanding.

In the quote shown, the author describes

For example, within a business network the more connections one has, the higher the position they can gain. All networks are self-motivated, transfers knowledge, contains subnetworks, have a set of protocols, rules, can have bad connections and they all have a connection in a common

He puts in his paper some counter arguments as

Neil Postman’s “The Broken Defenses'' from his book Technopoly argues modern information proliferation is destroying crucial social institutions drawing humanity toward a new comprehensive ideology he calls “Technopoly.” He defines Technopoly as a glorification of technology: finding authority, satisfaction, and purpose in technology. He questions the sentiment that “information is an unmixed blessing,” contending that it is destroying our current culture leading to a new society lacking order, purpose, or justice(71). He reasons that the key function of our current social institutions is to serve as information control systems; without them, our modern societal ideology will fade into Technopoly surmounting reason and order with chaos and

He uses multiple examples of “weak tie revolutions” that occurred over social media to demonstrate the fact that, while effective in getting attention, the revolutions don’t do much more than that, because they don’t require much of people. He thoroughly counters the possible objections to his theory, thus pulling readers in by making them feel as though he has done much research on the topic and knows what he’s talking

The US receives approximately “one million threats” from hackers every day (Harrison and Pagliery). And though this includes businesses, organizations, etc., instances such as the embarrassing hack of SONY in 2014 demonstrate the capabilities of other foreign countries. It is of the utmost importance that the US does not arm itself and rely solely on equipment which can so easily be compromised. CNN Money categorized the three main types of threats “tech users” are nervous about into broad categories, comprised of digital exortion, where cyber thieves blackmail victims with personal files stolen, sophisticated attacks, when hackers “hide malware inside software updates”, and social media.

Now focusing on cyber security and communication security which are the following parts that make up the national security. Each one of these parts are responsible for a specific function. Cybercrime is attacking the information systems, sometimes identity theft, but in some cases fraud. By providing insight into causes of cybercrime, its participants their motivations, then we identify some of the major issues dealing with these crimes. With cybercrime being nondiscriminatory, also dramatically increase.

While the network society provides mobility primarily for elites, it nevertheless offers possibility for subaltern masses to be visible within its networks. The network society, then, would seem to offer less masculine domination than the earlier moment of imperialism, an idea Gibson reinforces by dissolving the globalized manager Armitage. And yet managerial power does not dissipate with Armitage; the hacker Case, seemingly an outsider to power, emerges as a kind of manager by the novel's end. Similarly, the subaltern subjects who seemed to gain power throughout the book's plot—most notably the Rastafarians—are ultimately subordinated to the imperial power represented by

Additionally, there is an approximately four minute video of Sulkowicz further explaining. Bretz, A. (2014). Making an Impact? :

Cybersecurity has become a growing cause for concern in the United States and indeed countries around the world. On February 9, 2016 President Barack Obama announced his Cybersecurity National Action plan (CNAP) to further the nations efforts to protect government agencies, citizens, and businesses from cyber threats domestic and abroad. However, cybersecurity is not a new issue in fact it is as old as the internet itself. With that said, I keep thinking back to that warm September day stained with the image of an enormous fireball engulfing our small TV set. This horrific day changed the course of history forever along with my future career path.

Authentication/identification (where each device needs to identify themselves) confidentiality (where all data, whether in physical, software or cloud, is encrypted to protect from any hack) integrity (protect data from unauthorized changes) and non repudiation (proof that the data has not been altered or changed in any way). The most crucial vulnerability existed in the way that the DNS functions. The system was struggling to update its systems in many aspects, including its one factor authentication, unencrypted web connections and unmonitored connections. During the DDoS attack, the attacker sent large packets to saturate the bandwidth in order to exhaust the network's capacity. A limited bandwidth is also another vulnerability that can be easily exploited if

Cyber threats continue to plague governments and businesses around the world. Cyberwarfare is Internet-based conflict involving politically motivated attacks on information and information systems. Normally there are two purposes of Cyberwarfare, espionage or sabotage. Cyberwarfare attacks can disable official websites and networks, disrupt or disable essential services, steal or alter classified data, and cripple financial systems. Cyber operations can also aide military operations, such as intelligence gathering and information warfare.
