Approach to Security

March 24, 2017 by Arkadiy Kantor 1 Comment

I thought this article was interesting because it focused on the social aspect of security. It talks about how most people are not aware of suber security risks and they are not properly trained. The Article suggests that we have a dangerous mindset about cyber security and it can pose a huge threat. Despite all the recent major breaches in both the private and political sectors people have very little knowledge or self-awareness of the security implications. I think these are very good points and people are relying on technology to protect themselves from threats which leaves us very vulnerable to social threats.
