How are cyber-threats changing perceptions of risk?

 In this unit’s interactive video, you heard opinions from this course’s guest speakers about their views on the future cyber landscape. The video illustrated the complex challenges of regulating, protecting, and monitoring the cyber landscape both from a private and public perspective. Read Michael Nadeau’s article in which he discusses future cybersecurity threats and challenges. In the article, he argues that for the internet to thrive, it needs to be trusted, safe, and easy to use. He also makes clear that the internet has increasingly become a matter of national security. As a result, he predicts that policies that prioritize national interests may directly undermine many of the advantages associated with the internet, like the free flow of information. Having read the article (and having drawn insight from the guest speakers in the video), consider the following questions: Do you agree that there will be “security divides” between governments, individuals, and businesses that have varying capabilities to protect against threats? If so, how will this impact an organization’s assessment of cyber risks? Given Sony’d context, what new business risks do you foresee arising with the rise of cyberattacks? How can an organization mitigate these risks?
