HISTORY
OF
CYBERSECURITY
From the invention of ARPAnet in 1968, to the rise of
personal computing in the 1980’s and telecommuting in the
21st century, this book examines the technological history
that brought us here today. Cybercrime has evolved at a
breakneck pace alongside the digital advancements of the
past five decades, and cybersecurity and cyber professionals
have been forced to adapt to a market of nonstop growth.
We hope this book provides a compelling visual snapshot of
the history that led the cyber industry to where it is, along
with our bold predictions for the future. To start, lets take a
trip back to 1970...
