RE: Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains - A Recurring Topic at Cybersecurity Conferences

in #security7 years ago

@culgin, the journey to the cloud is not always a smooth ride, as dynamic real-world factors—from cybercrime and organizational preparedness to geopolitical issues—have to be considered. In today's computing landscape, how should we define cybersecurity?
Technology rules the world. In fact, corporations largely control the government. Whoever owns and controls the technology will "own" mankind. And they will have the power to identify, manipulate and disable any user at any moment in time. The internet was first opened up to the public as a "free space". Now who really goes on without entering through a portal? Tor is not really way around that in the long term, just a temporary alternative that will not last because it can and will be cracked. Who owns the internet if not the providers who allow you access? Sprint, verizon, etc. Think about where this is really going if corp's like Microsoft, etc. are involved in the technology on any level. As the technology advances more and more it will become integrated with the big corp's and become one of itself. Bitcoin will become the exact opposite of what it was created for.
