The majority of countries in today’s world has cybersecurity in some capacity. The quality of it ranges from pretty bad to pretty good and luckily for us the United States sits in the top five according to a study that covered the quality of cybersecurity in 60 countries. The other countries in the top five were Japan, France, Canada, and Denmark. Rounding out the top ten we also have Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Singapore. The study was based on a set of seven criteria: the percentage of mobile devices infected with malware\u2014software designed to gain unauthorized access to, destroy or disrupt a device\u2019s system, the percentage of computers infected with malware, the number of financial malware attacks used to steal a user\u2019s money from the bank account on their computer system, the percentage of telnet attacks by originating country, the percentage of attacks by crypto miners\u2014software that\u2019s developed to take over a user\u2019s computer and use its resources to mine currency without the user\u2019s permission, the best-prepared countries for cyberattacks, and the countries with the most up-to-date legislation. All the countries in the top ten were similar in the fact that they had the lowest percentage of malware attacks. On the other end of the spectrum we have the most dangerous country when it comes to cybersecurity in Algeria. It was rated the least secure because they had the highest rates of malware and the lowest cyber legislation. We also have Indonesia, Vietnam, Tanzania, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Belarus, Iran and Ukraine rounding out the bottom 10. We can see from this study that the countries that have quality cybersecurity are a lot better off economically than the ones at the bottom. The reverse is true as well as the ones at the bottom are not in the best shape when it comes to economics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
