Let’s cut right to the chase: the number of severity of cyberattacks will explode in 2020. Cyberwarfare has now leveled the playing field in industry, in government, and in national defense: why spend ten or fifteen billion dollars on an aircraft carrier when you can disable it digitally? Why spend billions on new product R&D when you can hack into your competition’s strategic plans? Why not just phish around municipalities for a quick $100K?
Cyberwarfare is a cost-effective solution to all sorts of problems – and opportunities: cyberwar-fare is a revenue stream, a new business model, digital transformation with its own unique flavor. I’ve written about this before in several different ways, with all sorts of warnings. Not that I’m sounding a quiet alarm. The whole world is warning anyone who will listen about cyberwarfare. But regardless of inexplicably unheeded warnings, I predict 2020 will be different – much worse than it’s ever been. Why? Simply because it’s the cheapest, easiest, fastest and most effective form of warfare we’ve ever seen, and because cyberwarfare defenses are more vulnerable than they’ve ever been.
