ABSTRACT
This chapter emphasizes cybersecurity in the future, the enormity of the risk, and the steps to be taken to mitigate that risk. It presents various scenarios that make the conversation more realistic and less theoretical. All industries have points of vulnerability. An airline suffering a cyber hack requires the airline to consider those points of vulnerability and identify where the hack occurred. In this critical conversation of cybersecurity in the future, the threat is significant. The threat by hackers on both the individual and corporation level must be viewed akin to an act of war. In that context, the cyber attack may have the possibility to harm us. The following kinds of attacks on infrastructure may have the possibility to harm us. One final thing to consider is the instances where cyber activity can be used to achieve an end goal that is not malicious or bad, rather, to attempt to achieve a goal that many would find desirable.
