The Dawn of Cybersecurity

Beginnings, Milestones, Threats, Defenses, and Societal Impacts

This slide presents the agenda for a cybersecurity presentation. It covers origins of cybersecurity, key milestones, evolution of threats, defense mechanisms, societal impacts, and future outlook.

Presentation Agenda

1. Origins of Cybersecurity
2. Key Milestones
3. Evolution of Threats
4. Defense Mechanisms
5. Societal Impacts
6. Future Outlook

Cybersecurity emerged in the 1960s-70s alongside ARPANET in 1969. It focused on protecting military and government data using initial measures like passwords and access controls.

Origins of Cybersecurity

• Emerged in 1960s-70s with ARPANET (1969)
• Focused on protecting military/government data
• Introduced first measures: passwords, access controls

The "Key Milestones" timeline slide traces early internet and malware history from 1969 to 1988. It highlights ARPANET's launch, the Creeper worm precursor, Elk Cloner as the first computer virus, and the disruptive Morris Worm.

Key Milestones

1969: ARPANET Network Launched US Department of Defense launches ARPANET, the precursor to the modern internet. 1971: Creeper Worm Precursor Appears First experimental program resembling a worm sent across ARPANET by Bob Thomas. 1983: First Computer Virus: Elk Cloner Elk Cloner infects Apple II computers, marking the first known microcomputer virus. 1988: Morris Worm Disrupts Internet Robert Morris' worm spreads rapidly, affecting thousands of computers and early internet.

The "Evolution of Threats" slide traces cyber threats from simple worms like Creeper in the 1970s and floppy disk viruses in the 1980s. It progresses to malware, phishing, and DDoS attacks in the 1990s, then advanced persistent threats (APTs) in the 2000s.

Evolution of Threats

• 1970s: Simple worms like Creeper.
• 1980s: Viruses spread via floppy disks.
• 1990s: Malware, phishing, DDoS attacks.
• 2000s: Advanced persistent threats (APTs).

This slide outlines the historical development of key cybersecurity defenses in a tabular workflow format. It covers firewalls (1980s) for traffic control, antivirus software (1980s-90s) for malware handling, IDS (1990s) for activity monitoring, and encryption/MFA (2000s+) for secure data and authentication.

The "Societal Impacts" slide addresses privacy concerns, where data breaches erode public trust and drive regulations like GDPR for data protection and fines. It also covers business and government effects, including billions in annual cyberattack costs and nations building cyber forces while integrating cybersecurity into national strategies.

Societal Impacts

The "Future Outlook" conclusion slide highlights upcoming AI-driven threats and defenses, quantum computing's challenge to encryption, and the importance of global cooperation for a resilient digital society. Its subtitle stresses that "Secure tomorrow starts today."

Future Outlook

• AI-driven threats & defenses ahead

• Quantum computing challenges encryption
• Global cooperation key for resilient digital society

Secure tomorrow starts today.
