“Cybersecurity is like knowing good nutrition.”

I came across this article from ZDNet in which Professor Richard Buckland (from the University of New South Wales) is quoted as saying, “Cybersecurity is like knowing good nutrition.” He goes on to explain that it is a set of skills that all of need to know, but in the normal population–outside of experts–hardly anyone understands. I think Professor Buckland makes a great point. People don’t understand cybersecurity, so the fact that you’re reading this and thinking about it puts you ahead of the curve. Now make sure you are using your knowledge to your advantage and protecting yourself and educating those around you. You should also be looking for ways to communicate it to others so they can understand too. If we all keep at it, eventually the world will start catching on to the global importance of cybersecurity.
