Study Notes
The Size of Cyberspace
- The global cybersecurity market was valued at $75 billion in 2015 and is estimated to reach $170 billion by 2020.
- The cyberspace ecosystem is defined by users, points of online interaction (e.g. websites), and activity volume.
- The number of smartphones sold reflects the growing number of devices connected to the internet.
- Domains, especially those registered with the Domain Name System (DNS), provide insight into the online ecosystem's scale.
- The number of websites online reflects the number of points of interaction and provides a measurement of the internet ecosystem's size.
- The volume of data transferred across the internet, including mobile traffic, indicates online activity levels, reflecting the potential risk of cybercrime.
The Security of Cyberspace: Vectors, Occurrence, and Damage
- A secure cyberspace allows users to interact online without an unreasonable risk of reputational, financial, or rights-related losses.
- Insecure cyberspace refers to an environment where internet use exposes users to significant risks.
- The level of security in cyberspace can be evaluated based on attack vectors, cyberattack occurrences, and the costs of successful attacks.
