Question

We have been talking about Infosec but do we really give any Importance to Information-Integrity?
Russia is gearing up to meddle in 2020 presidential election and China will attempt to steal US technology to improve its military capabilities. So how do we make sure we are fully ready?

Answer 1

This is the world where new and improved technologies are coming day by day. And vulnerability to information security always remains a threat inspite how much security you have implemented in your infrastructure. Yes, we give importance to infosec and atleast try to implement maximum security just to avoid any threats. Several layers of securities are implemented such as application level firewalls, hardware and network level firewalls, encryption tools, antiviruses, etc. on our infrastructure.

See, any countries military details are kept in a secured environment. And any data breaches related to the military data can lead to national security threats. And talking about US. United States is one such advanced country who will never compromise their military data at any cost. Even US implemented security standards such as NIST, which really makes difficult for anyone to hack their secured network. It is actually merely impossible for any country to exploit the military data of US. Though there are powerful codes which can easily break into secured networks as well, yet new security technologies are also implemented to avoid these threats. We can't actually say that we are full ready because new threats will always prevails and to fight against that new security standards will also come.
