The Cyber Conundrum: How Do We Fix Cybersecurity?

The 2016 presidential election was chaotic for many

reasons. Perhaps the most troubling was news that a

foreign power used new cyber warfare tactics to influence

our views and skew the election. These new revelations

come to light as many grow weary of a new reality where

hackers always seem to be one step ahead of us.

Author Peter K. Chronis claims we need a “moonshot” to

bolster our cybersecurity—an astonishing achievement on

the scale of wiping out polio, defeating the Nazis, or

landing on the moon. The author uses inspiration and

lessons from these other complex “moonshots” as a guide

to help us develop a comprehensive cybersecurity

strategy.

Written with a nontechnical audience in mind, The Cyber

Conundrum examines the many flaws in global

cybersecurity strategy and proposes solutions the tech

industry, governments, and companies need to explore to

address fundamental cybersecurity challenges.

Without fundamental change, our democratic institutions,

the critical services we rely on every day (electricity,

communications, financial institutions and more), and the

free flow of information are in jeopardy—making this an

issue important to everyone.
