Abstract\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This paper traces the evolution of the modern computing landscape, exploring its historical developments and the concurrent rise of cyber security challenges. From its military origins in World War II to today\u2019s interconnected digital era, the narrative highlights the enduring nature of cyber security issues, identified as early as the late 1960s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The analysis spans decades, noting pivotal moments like the Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) in the 1970s to the digital revolution of the 1990s, the Internet\u2019s rise, and the current era dominated by cloud computing, digital transformation, A.I. and quantum computing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Contemporary challenges, such as the digital-first approach, societal reliance on technology, physical security complications, and the volatile cyber landscape in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world, are detailed. This paper scrutinises issues like data breaches, the limitations of security awareness training, and the evolving threat landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed solution builds on the approaches posited by <\/span>(Zimmermann and Renaud, 2019)<\/span> and <\/span>(Bauer and Patrick, 2004)<\/span> and places new emphasis on the role of the human as an integral part of the system as well as part of the cyber security infrastructure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, the paper acknowledges the complex nature of cyber security challenges and suggests forward-looking strategies that leverage human involvement, contributing to a more adaptive and resilient cyber security approach.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The modern computing environment has developed exponentially over the last few decades. It has been a transformative force of the last part of the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century and has an impact on all our lives to one degree or another. The benefits that this environment brings to society are significant and the critical and irreplaceable role that it plays is only becoming greater.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This paper will cover the following topics:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
