Comparison Of Cybersecurity To The Healthcare System

Improved Essays
I agree that the comparison of the cybersecurity to the healthcare system is a great analogy, although not perfect. Professor provided examples where a cybersecurity breach and healthcare system are similar and could be treated in a similar way to stop or prevent a different outbreak. Even though most cyber-attacks are minor, there will time when all the information gathered from those small attacks that could be formulated into recipe of a major attack.
Also, you pointed out that it is important to realize that it is impossible to prevent all and any cyberattacks, and that they evolve at a fast rate. This made me think of the Titanic. Majority of the people thought it was unsinkable and were not even properly prepared for a disaster because

    Jonathan, I liked that Professor Rosenzweig has brought up a few excellent points to make us think critically, rather than jump to conlclusions or provide us with his own opinon. His comparison of Stuxnet to the first nuclear bomb is a good example for this lecture. The unknown damages, consequnces, and fear are only a few of many concerns that spread around world when the nuclear bomb was tested. In Stuxnet's case, it is difficult to try and build a defense against something that is difficult to discover, trace, and stop, therefore the best defense is to highly protect the computer system and anything that is attached to…

    I found your document informative and well-written. I learned a lot about this situation, which is my first time hearing about it. It’s quite concerning because I used to be insured through Anthem, so it’s likely that the hackers accessed my health personal information. In your document, you mentioned that hackers are becoming more sophisticated as technology advances, so do you believe, through your research or your personal belief, that security breaches would cease to exist even if organizations implement strong security measures?…

    On April 15, 1912, one of the worst calamities struck America. The ship that deemed "unsinkable" sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York, US due to scraping an iceberg. Because of this contretemps, 1,517 people, including the crew, captain, and many helpless children, died. Not only was this an example of America's broad and explicit ambitions, but also of how imperfections can be fatal. Unfortunately, there is not merely one person to blame.…

    Moreover, there are other types of cyber-attacks and acts of cyber warfare that are not solely military and defense concentrated, but nevertheless are dangerous. An example of this type of attack is explained in columnists, DJ Summers (2014) article “Fighting in the Cyber Trenches”. In his example, he explains how an honest biomedical company going through the process of creating a new technological innovation may have to wait up to five years to be able to release a new product. On the other hand, a different company who is trying to release the same product may use a hacker to release this new product into the market in as shorter span of time for instance, as 18 months (Summers, 2014). Summers explains how hackers are able to infiltrate…

    Supervalu Cyber Attacks

    SuperValu was attacked between June and July, and suffered another malware attack between late August and September. The first theft included customer and payment card information from some of its Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Shop ‘n Save, and Shoppers stores. The second attack reportedly involved only payment card data. I believe cyber attacks are way too easy to do nowadays, because companies don't think it can happen to them so they don't prep for it. SuperValu and all these other companies that got hacked later in the years should have had better security than the companies that were hacked at the beginning.…

    According to the Zertag video the three classes of cyber-attacks are intellectual property theft, attacks that disrupt our way of life and attacks that threaten the military’s ability to defend itself. The effects of intellectual property theft are that it will degrade our economic competitiveness. The effect of attacks that disrupt our way of life is attacked that disrupt our infrastructure like 9/11. After 9/11 Americans were shaken and the government cracked down on airport security, immigration, and the war of terrorism.
