Our personal, digital, national and military security depend on a safe cyber space.
The Real Threat
At this very moment, there are world powers that hold the capability to end 90 percent of the United States population without the use of direct force. Instead of automatic weapons and nuclear bombs, the tactics of choice include phishing, ransomware, malware, watering hole attacks, and numerous other developed techniques that derive from the space of online warfare. Cyber Terrorism is this countries greatest threat to liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. In the last 2 years alone the United States has been teased by attacks from foreign adversaries targeting core pillars in American infrastructure. The examples highlighted in this op-ed are what seemed to be the most alarming cases of cyber terrorism directed towards the United States.

The World Versus Ones & Zeros
Here I am strolling through the ruins of what was once downtown Milwaukee. Before all this occurred, it used to be a happening place. People would vigorously conduct business as usual. High paid business men wore fancy suits settling deals over breakfast. Beautiful waitresses served clients near the lake where the three digit tab was jump-change for some. Construction workers used to run the jackhammers along with huge cranes erecting monument-like buildings. It all flowed together naturally like a set of gears in a well-oiled machine creating a catalyst to make the city thrive.

Cybersecurity isn't an option; it's a requirement
There are 4.66 billion active internet users as of the start of 2021. In comparison to the figures for 2020, this is a 316 million increase year over year. The increase in active internet users is more than seven times higher than the global population growth rate of one percent. With a global population of 7.83 billion people, this amounts to a 59.5 percent internet penetration rate. To put it another way, the internet is used by more than half of the world's population.

Offsite Data Backup Be Very Careful Who You Deal With
The concept of offsite data backup is not new; some time ago it was only available to corporate institutions that had multiple locations, high connectivity speeds and very high budgets. Today the cost of hardware and high-speed connectivity has greatly reduced, as a result, the number of companies offering backup to a remote location has greatly increased. For purposes of conversation, we can call it jumping on the bandwagon.
