Multilateral Cyber Interests Will Rarely Align

August 14, 2017 by 22nd Century World

Originally published on Tripwire, August 13, 2017 Previously, I proposed that security and economy are inextricably linked and that such a link has the potential to increase both national and personal prosperity.

Before You Declare Your Enemy, Be Sure of Your Interests

August 14, 2017 by 22nd Century World

Originally published on Tripwire, July 25, 2017 In my previous article, I discussed the clash of systems we currently are in.

Today’s Cybersecurity Challenges Started in 1648

May 26, 2017 by 22nd Century World

Originally published on Tripwire, May 24, 2017 Understandably, a few eyebrows raise up when I suggest today’s cybersecurity challenges started nearly 370 years ago, some 300 years before the invention of ENIAC (the world’s first digital computer).
