– Back in 2010–2011, we heard the first alarming signals about how great a threat of cyberattacks can be. It is important to understand that cyberattacks are not just a technical threat, but first and foremost an attack by people who implement it well. Many of you will be learning technology, code, and this is really very important. But in order to explain the nature and causes of cyber threats, we as experts must pass on information to those who make the final decision. And this report must be a story based on facts, – said Mz. Galante.
At the meeting, the expert told some cases from the activities of her company and something about what is happening in American cyberspace today. According to her, these cases best demonstrate the current state of cybersecurity, and testify to the importance of rapid change in this important matter.
– It seems to me that you in Ukraine have an extraordinary point of view and a special role, which you will play in the further political struggle. This is because you think creatively, as befits a generation that grew up in the age of the Internet. And, importantly, you will be able to understand and explain the next level of cyber threats. I told these stories so that you could understand where cybersecurity comes from, make better decisions, and because the work we do in cyberspace has a big impact on the security of countries, their economies and, of course, society, – finished her lecture Laura Galante.
