Cyberthreats and SecurityOne of the most challenging aspects of cybersecurity is that the problem space grows larger every year as more and more of everyday life is converted to digital activity. It is hard to think of any aspect of life today that does not involve IT for most of the population. Socializing, banking, shopping, dating, and healthcare are all done at least in part online. The potential for privacy violations and security challenges is seen in daily news reports. As an example of everyday cyberthreat and security protection, by the time this issue goes to press, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will have gone into effect. Will this industry mandate improve online privacy protection by making the reporting of data breaches a mandatory requirement for international commerce? Or will more phishing and social engineering attacks take advantage of GDPR policies?
