It is essential to know and understand all the cybersecurity risks that developed nations may encounter in order to prevent and or stop cyber-attacks altogether. The cybersecurity risks that the United States of America encounter primarily deal with attacks on their federal systems. For example, the United States’ distribution system is becoming increasingly more vulnerable due to the fact that the industrial control systems are increasing connectivity which allows for numerous different techniques that attackers can utilize in order to disrupt and potentially halt operations. This increase in vulnerability is in part due to the fact that professions in the cybersecurity realm in the United States are experiencing a labor shortage. Another cybersecurity risk that the United States of America encounters is their communications sector. Cybersecurity threats on the communications sector could result in interference in the local, regional, and national network levels. Cyber crime is expected to reach $10 trillion annually by 2025 due to the increase in in significant cyber threats. Examples of these threats include, but are not limited to, the use of cloud storage, hybrid and remote work, and cryptojacking. In order to help prevent cybersecurity attacks from occuring, companies are now offering educational courses on cybersecurity. Other developed nations, such as England, face different cybersecurity risks that impact a wide array of different avenues. England has recently experienced an uptick in high-profile ransomware, such as data information leaks that leaves victims vulnerable to fraud. Businesses are experiencing the brunt end of this, as individuals have become less susceptible to cyberattacks through means of phishing. In order to help combat these attacks, England is establishing collaborations on an international level, seeking help from multiple governing agencies, such as the United States’ FBI and CIA organizations. Close relationships have also been developed between the government of England and the private sector in order to help promote the sharing of information and expertise. Cybersecurity risks should not be taken lightly by any developed nation, as it can impact not only the individual, but entire infrastructures that could result in the downfall of millions of dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
