Welcome to the cybersecurity community! Cybersecurity continues to grow as a concern around the world and this community means to assist those who work in the community along with those who use technology. In addition, as digital assets grow in popularity, we can expect to see significant risks involving these assets. The majority of users in these communities enter digital assets with a complete misunderstanding of security, meaning they do not understand the security risks inherent in digital assets.
Consider some of the problems with technology involving risks:
Within the next two decades, we will see a digital attack that has never been seen in our lifetime. This attack will not only drop confidence in the digital world, the unintended consequences of it will be enormous for everyone. One of the biggest reasons for this is that counterparty risk is not well-understood in the digital world: people think that it "works" without understanding how or why it works along with how many "actors" must be correct in the system in order for it to function. We've already seen previews of what future attacks may look like (stuxnet, DUQUs, etc), but the attack that I refer to here will absolutely shock the world. The effects even outside of the digital world will be extremely costly.
