ABSTRACT

This chapter considers who makes up corporations. Individuals can mitigate the threats, dangers, and vulnerabilities posed by cybersecurity. Each of us, individually, plays a role in the context of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity can be viewed on both a personal and broad level. Most of us do not take sufficient protection, or meet minimum-security standards, to better protect our credit cards and passwords. The reason being is that often there is little harm in a credit card breach, merely an inconvenience, so the threat of breach is not as intimidating. The ultimate question is whether or not minimizing the inconvenience is the appropriate individual response to a cyber attack and considering whether a credit card or password beach goes beyond irritation. The notion behind minimizing the inconvenience seems to be an incorrect response. A hacker, attempting to breach into credit cards and passwords, would prefer each of us to minimize the inconvenience rather than address the threat.
