This article review is on “The Present and Future of Cybercrime, Cyberterrorism and Cybersecurity” By Kyung-shick Choi, Boston University and Bridgewater University USA, and Claire Seungeun Lee, Unha University South Korea.
The article shows that the line between cybercrime and physical crimes is starting to blur, and because of this, there are ways of identifying Cybercrime. It involves studies of Cybercriminology, which covers a multitude of combined knowledge. Since Cybersecurity is an emerging field, it needs tools to help combat new crimes that use new technology as well as old and current technology. Also, people in Cybersecurity need to take on all possible paths to learn their craft. I agree that physical security and IT security do not have boundaries. This can be seen today. People take what they see online as truth and bring it into the physical world, even though it may be just propaganda. Or people that see something in real life and post it online, possibly out of context. The same can happen with certain information that takes assets and money from people or companies. People can obtain information physically or digitally to access money and assets physically or digitally.
Criminals can also influence others to participate in their activities by making them fall victim to ways of thinking. Because of this, it is essential for a Cyber Security specialist to understand or have some knowledge of how a criminal mind can work. This Article is short, and it hits on some points that could be expanded on is well written. As someone who wants to get into Cyber Security, this article put into perspective that I need to be diverse in my knowledge and learn everything I can to have that “Balanced approach to Cyber Security.
One thing this Article touched on that could be expanded is how their studies of testing cyber deviance might affect young adults that do not have the luxury of attending the types of schools they did the study on. A test should have also been done with a younger group about aggression-violence and see if they get the same results. I think this because today, aggression and violence are taught at a young age, and that is an area that needs to be studied by more than 19-21-year-olds. Higher education should not be where self-control needs to be predominantly taught. It needs to be taught at a young age before it becomes a problem. Yes, I agree that we need better teaching and nonviolent communication, but these values need to be instilled into people at a young age before they become a problem that needs to be treated at an older age.
As someone who wants to be in the Cyber Security field to stop crimes, I think proper youth education can help prevent future crimes for people in my area to have to protect against. So yes, overall, I agree with the article that Cyber Security needs to learn all possible paths, but I think their study needs to be more in-depth.
