information security
The future of information security is changing, as the technologies we have are becoming more advanced and permeating deeper into our everyday lives. We must clearly identify these threats so that we may continue to stay safe and protected in our personal and professional lives while balancing this with the disadvantages of increased security.
So what are the threats we can face? There are three types of threats:
1. Hacktivist - a computer hacker whose activity is aimed at promoting a social or political cause. These people tend to do denial service attacks or website defacement.
2. Second group consist of people who aimed at stealing money. This is fraud or theft (digital/data theft).
3. We move from the point number one to point number three - from disruption of work to its complete destruction.
A lot of things changed over the last five years. We started worried about an increase in the pace sophistication and complexity of these attacks, about changes in motivation and people who became targets of cyberattacks.
So, benefits of the information security are: increased flexibility, anytime access to applications, build digital connections with customers. At the same time it has the following implications, such as: authentication, securing data outside of the network and disaster recovery. As a result we must realize that everything is connected and when everybody knows everything about you, privacy is dead.

* Superbly written but not sure about the sentence highlighted in yellow. If it says "We move from the point number one to point number three". Not sure on the point, but I would assume that #3 generally means what a hactivist does but someone who would destroy as much data on as many systems as they can.
* 'So' I would omit in written language. I know that these days it's very common in oral language.
* I follow information security closely. It's an interesting article. Unfortunately, I concur with Steve Gibson, a security researcher with a podcast, that systems must be redesigned from the ground-up for security to work. That will likely never happen, but some types of attacks can be prevented with some basic steps.
* If you specialize in information security or even if not, Steve Gibson pays for his show to be fully transcripted. You could potentially use this to learn English better while learning about Information Security. Just search for Security Now / Steve Gibson Good luck.
