A Critical Analytical View of Control Theory and the Geopolitical and Economic Drivers Affecting Cyber Security Warfare

Abstract

Nearly 1 billion emails were exposed in 1 single year affecting 20% or 1 and 5 internet users, causing cyber security warfare worldwide. Under the control theoretic approach, users can prescribe defense actions to security alerts that provide system alerts of cyber-attacks in progress when the network is compromised. This critical analytical view of the World Economic Forum statistical data surrounds the five major drivers affecting the geopolitical and economic conditions of the top 50 nations based on public motivation, government policy, education system, labor market, and population inclusivity. The statistical data illustrates how data breaches have become an ongoing business issue causing an average of $4.35 million annually per organization. Within the cyber security market spectrum, control theory can address some of the challenges associated with geopolitical and economic drivers affecting cyber security warfare by providing a framework for designing and implementing adaptive security systems.
