Cybersecurity and Privacy is critical to society at large, and its importance is
growing daily. The rapid advancement in technology has caused a large-scale integration of
computing, communication, and information technologies into virtually every aspect of our modern
society. Computing and communication technologies are at the heart of emerging advancements in
transportation, production and manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, utility, recreation, social and many
other domains. This incorporation of cyber technologies into a wide array of industries is tearing down
barriers between industries as information is gathered and shared in order to facilitate previously
unimaginable improvements in capabilities, efficiency, and cost.
Attacks against cyber systems, similarly, are not confined to one industry or area of focus.
An attack designed to impact one type of system may inadvertently infect, impair or disable—or be
deliberately modified to infect, impair or disable—other types of systems. Cyberattacks also blur
the lines between state versus state “warfare” activities, state sponsored intelligence activities and
criminal activities. National civilian and military agencies, law enforcement and the private sector
must, thus, work together to prevent and respond to a myriad of different types of cyberattacks with
varying targets.
The merging of information, computing and communication technology with many aspects of
our personal and social life offers profound benefits, it also poses new security and privacy challenges.
Our increasing reliance on sensors, software, and an anywhere-at-anytime communication
infrastructure has led to and will lead to new classes of attacks against our daily life. Attacks on
utility systems, such as illustrated by Stuxnet in 2010, are an illustration of the emergence of new and
more sophisticated security threats that can be launched against systems that intimately integrate
cyber technology with physical processes.
Beyond security risks are issues of privacy. As these new technologies gather and share data,
the implication of such sharing of data between services can threaten many aspects of personal liberty
that we hold important. While the pervasiveness of the Internet means that it is easier for cyberattackers
to steal conventional forms of sensitive data, such as credit card numbers and government-issued
personal identifiers (e.g., social security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, and similar), the potential
for privacy breaches is much broader and more profound. Data analytics applied across different
modalities of data shared with cloud services can lead to personal information being inferred about
individuals that they thought were protected and private.
