Part 11/14:
- Cybersecurity strategies like zero trust architectures and defense-in-depth would be mandatory but possibly still insufficient.
Mitigation Strategies and Our Preparedness
Despite these terrifying possibilities, current best practices in cybersecurity remain robust:
Multi-factor authentication (MFA): Combining device possession, biometric verification, and knowledge factors.
Zero trust architecture: Assuming all signals—inside or outside the network—could be malicious, continuously verifying identity.
Network segmentation and air-gapping: Isolating critical systems from internet exposure.
Hardware-based identity verification: Using cryptographic hardware, biological telemetry (fingerprints, retina scans), and secure elements.
