Viewpoint: Cybersecurity challenges- getting proactive
On The FrontLines: By Jim Flyzik, The Flyzik Group -- I have taught a graduate class on cybersecurity at the University of Maryland, University College part-time on Saturdays for 17 years. Every year, my students complete research papers on current cyber topics so I have had a chance to follow along as cyber threats became more complex. The sophistication of the threats evolves right along with the advancement of technology.
I also watched as we reacted to cyber threats in the past with a "band-aid" approachfixing problems after something bad happens. We have now reached a stage where significant vulnerabilities call for proactive approaches to prevent cyber attacks before they happen. Can we do this? Why is it so difficult?
