CHAPTER 3

The Main Cybersecurity Issues

In February 2018, the US Government published a report1 that suggested that the cost to the U.S. economy in 2016 from malicious cyber activity was somewhere between $57 billion and $109 billion. On the basis of any one of the financial estimates of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, or United Nations, this is greater in monetary terms than the Global Domestic Product of more than 110 countries. The report does not even address the malicious cyber activity that took place in 2017, or in the years before, and it is just for the United States. The financial problem alone then is massive, and does not scratch the surface of the other issues that contribute to this, or are further affected by it.
