š IT Security in 1970 vs. Today
In 1970, ācybersecurityā didnāt mean software, firewalls, or AI detection.
It meant a locked box.
If you could physically reach the disks, you had the data.
If you couldnāt open the cabinet, you couldnāt access the system.
No internet.
No remote attacks.
No ransomware.
Just mainframes, magnetic storage, and strict physical control.
Security was about protecting the machine.
Today, we protect: ⢠identities
⢠cloud infrastructure
⢠APIs
⢠endpoints
⢠AI systems
⢠data moving everywhere at once
We went from keys and cabinets to zero-trust architectures in just a few decades.
And the attack surface is no longer limited to a single room.
Itās the entire internet.
How do you think security will look in 2040?
