First Critique:
What role does innovation play in the cybersecurity industry?
Our society has entered an age in which a majority of our operations rely on the internet and information technology. In addition, as a result of President Obama’s 2012 Digital Government initiative the U.S. government has increased information technology usage in order to increase government productivity, collaboration, and the way in which government entities interact with the populace. As a result, our computers and computer networks are at risk of malicious cyber-attacks from nefarious actors around the hoping for financial gain, theft of intellectual property, and other politically motivated reasons. In order to stem the constant threats “advances in cybersecurity are urgently needed to preserve the Internet’s growing social and economic benefits by thwarting adversaries and strengthening public trust of cyber systems (The art of managing innovation risk)”. Despite increasing awareness of these threats a majority of organizations still do not take advantage of available technology and processes to secure information technology, nor are protective measures evolving as quickly as the threats. This general research and development has put organizations at great risk. Thus, addressing security issues requires a partnership that begins with constant and increased innovation.
