‘Regrets, I’ve Had A Few’ this weeks Cyber Insights from The National Cyber Skills Centre

By . December 20, 2018
Many of the scientists, hardware engineers and software specialists that I have met are all hoping that their contributions to the wider progress of technology will make the world a much better, nicer and safer place for us all. Sadly, that hasn’t always been the case as the scientific and engineering endeavours of some individuals, that may have been well meaning at the onset, have had to witness their work being implemented in such a way to cause destruction and death.

The weaponisation of the internet continues as countries around the world develop both defensive and offensive capabilities online. Will this lead to the computing pioneers and fathers of modern computing coming to regret their innovations too? Some sadly have already departed and will never bear witness to how cyber security, cyber defence, cyber war and other activities will develop, but will Bill Gates (Microsoft), John Chambers (Cisco), Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google) and others look back on their technical legacy with any regret?

In the future how will the computing pioneers of today look back on the role they played in the creation of cyber crime?
