P. 7
Welcome to CDM’s July 2020 Issue
From the U.S. Editor-in-Chief
Once again, the July issue of Cyber Defense Magazine brings readers over two dozen articles on cyber
and security topics of immediate interest. We are fortunate to rely on a broad spectrum of contributors
who share their expertise and insights with our community.
We tend to look for trends and upcoming challenges and responses. For both individual consumers and
corporate participants, the establishment of a “value proposition” is the cogent answer to the question
“What problem does it solve?”
This month, readers will see elaboration of issues beyond the standard “cybersecurity” problems to solve.
For instance, the impact of the broad collection of sensitive personal data in controlling the spread of
COVID-19 potentially calls for strong protections of individual privacy. At some point, a balance must be
reached between the privacy needs of the individual and the “greater good,” a rhetorical construct which
can often lead to unintended adverse consequences.
The migration of workers to a permanent home-based operation appears to require more permanent
cybersecurity solutions than just a temporary setup with expectations for workers to return to the more
secure environment of HQ.
The age-old saying that “the only constant is change” holds true in these times, as demonstrated by the
breadth and depth of the articles we are pleased to bring you this month.
Wishing you all success in your cyber security endeavors,
Yan Ross
