From Steam-Powered Tragedy to Cybersecurity Triumph: Navigating the Digital Superhighway with a Seatbelt
Mary Ward was ahead of her time, pioneering in science and even taking a spin in a steam-powered carriage. Unfortunately, she also became the first road traffic fatality. Fast forward, and our digital world is now rolling out “traffic regulations for more cyber security” to avoid similar mishaps in cyberspace. Buckle up, folks!
Hot Take:
Mary Ward’s tragic steam-carriage accident might have been the first road traffic fatality, but she was also indirectly the first to highlight the importance of rules and regulations. Fast forward to today, and we’re still learning that you can’t zoom around the cyber world without some digital seat belts. Who knew that cyberspace needed traffic cops too?
Key Points:
- Mary Ward’s fatal steam-carriage mishap in 1869 highlights the need for safety regulations.
- The EU’s NIS2 directive aims to boost cyber resilience across multiple sectors.
- The U.S. and other countries are implementing laws to enhance cybersecurity.
- Telecom companies are leading the charge in cyber resilience with integrated programs.
- Cybersecurity guidelines aren’t just about compliance; they’re also a competitive edge.
