Cyber Future

Harold Collum, Founder and Executive Director of Cyber Future Foundation based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Cyber Future. Cyber Future The ongoing technology revolution in cyberspace is altering everything—from how we communicate, to how we make friends, how we work to how we shop, how we bank to how we go to war, and more. The emergence of this rapidly innovating whole new world of cyberspace has given individuals and entities across nations: its governments, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) great promise as well as great peril. Irrespective of cyberspace, geospace, or space (CGS), the world is never shaped by “just” technology. While the transformative abilities that technology from cyberspace brings humans; the impact, cyber technology has on every component of a nation; the influence cyber technology has on individual and collective human behavior, and the ability cyber technology brings in defining and designing new models of business, management, governance, processes and more is a step towards progress, development and the very future of humanity; the reality remains that its interconnections and inter-dependencies with geospace and space brings many unwanted risks. While it’s difficult to make precise predictions about the future of cyberspace, geospace, or space; or its associated security risks and issues; we all, individually and collectively, do need to explore how connected computers, the internet, and the existing and emerging forces in cyberspace could intersect to reshape the relationship between humans and technology; and what it will mean to be “secure” not only today but also in the coming tomorrow. In cyberspace, what is common to all is access to technology, data, and information. But what is not common is how one uses that data and information, and for what purpose and goals. It is important that we, individually and collectively evaluate the future of cyberspace. Conclusion – Cyber Future As nations spend heavily on creating the necessary cyberspace infrastructure to get more individuals and entities across NGIOA connected digitally to derive benefits from social and economic development opportunities that the connected computers and internet provides, the future of cyberspace is expected to face complex challenges and risks. Time is now to talk about the “cyber future” and its associated risks!
