With the start of any new year, many of us wonder what will come and what we can expect. In the field of computer information systems, technology is the driving factor for change. Technology continues to infuse itself in just about every aspect of our lives and workplace. Individuals are more connected than ever before with a large spectrum of devices that can access Wi-Fi and other mobile networks.
This Washington Post article gives us a look into what we can expect in 2012 in regards to technology. Interestingly enough, one of the items that tops the list is Cyber-warfare and Internet espionage. In a sense our greatest “strength” is always our greatest weakness. The interconnected nature of our lives leads us to be more vulnerable and susceptible to cyber-attacks which threaten our security.
There are two key ways that individuals and organizations can protect themselves from such threats. First, awareness and understanding of security vulnerabilities allows individuals to be more cautious when working online or with their Internet ready devices. Secondly, a solid education and foundation in computer information systems allows an individual to be equipped to protect themselves and an organization for which they may be employed from such threats.
