A major issue for system and network administrators is the ever evolving cyber threat. According to Minchev, "modern digital world is constantly presenting new challenges, resulting from cyber-physical clashes.
One of the greatest problems in the present context is adequately to react towards new threats and expected attacks in the evolving modern world," (Minchev, 2016).
The reliance on the World Wide Wed is at an all time high. Nearly everyone in the United States has a smart phone which grants them access to the Internet at any give time.
The problem is with advancing technologies comes advance threats. According to Richardson, "the need to quickly develop new methodologies to deal with the continuous plague of emerging threats to our information systems, infrastructures, and the development processes.
As the technologies on the Internet and the Web develop and increase, the available avenues of attack will only increase in both volume and complexity," (Richardson, 2013). The cyber threat will only continue to advance along with technology, one never being able to truly surpass the other. Future cyber threats could include advance technologies such as AI.
According to Whitaker, "some of these attacks have characteristics of intelligence and can be modeled as a set of collaborating software components such as those used in intelligent agents," (Whitaker, 2016). By utilizing an AI a cyber criminal could hack multiple targets at once, in significant less amount of time. In fact according to Davenport, smart computers have shown the ability to make better decisions than their human counterparts.
They now have the ability to decide, learn, predict and comprehend far faster and accurately than the human brain; and the progress for this trend is still growing, (Davenport, 2016).
As the threat grows, we must rise to except the challenge. The Bible says, "Then I heard the voice of Jehovah saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' And I said: 'Here I am! Send me!'" (Isaiah 6:8).
Meaning that God will always have roadblocks and tests for us in this world. It is our duty to learn from these experiences and keep moving forward. Bibliography Davenport, T. H., & Kirby, J. (2016).
