IS IT TOO EARLY?
"2038 is way off in the future. People think we have plenty of time to fix it, but I will guarantee you we will run out of time," Hypponen warned.
Over the next 20 years, "people and technology will play key roles to make the world safer," Qing Yang, the director of UnicornTeam and Radio Security Research Department at 360 Technology, told Xinhua. "The role of security professionals will rise in dramatic importance," he added.
In security expert Ping's opinion, "public awareness" is a major step to make us more secure in the future and people should understand the safety risks associated with connected devices.
Also, when addressing issues of war and peace in cyberspace, many experts with backgrounds in information security, Internet governance, diplomacy, international relations and law enforcement shared their opinions, stressing the importance of communities in cooperating outside of their own silos.
To address those gaps mentioned earlier and fulfill the responsibilities of security people, Facebook CSO Stamos said the community needs to focus on defense and diversity.
In his view, good defense comes from understanding offense. And secondly, the security community needs more diverse people, backgrounds, and thoughts to live up to its potential. Stamos said he has already seen some signs of a movement toward more empathy in security.
"I am optimistic," Stamos said, "I figure we'll do better this time than it taking the next 20 years."
