Amid continuing vulnerability of U.S. defenses against surging cybercrime, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — which touts itself as the "quarterback for the federal cybersecurity team" — has sought to carve itself a role as stealth arbiter of domestic political debate about election security through a network of corporate and nonprofit information control surrogates.
If cybercrime was measured as a country, it "would be the world's third-largest economy," according to Steve Morgan, the editor-in-chief of Cybercrime Magazine.
In 2015, Morgan noted, cybercrime cost $3.5 trillion annually. By 2025, it is estimated to be worth $10.5 trillion.
Last year, global cyberattacks increased by 38%, according to Check Point Research. The U.S. is the second-most targeted country in the world, behind only the U.K., according to a recent report by AAG IT.
Amid the surge in cybercrime, the U.S. is sorely lacking the defense systems needed to combat increasingly sophisticated attacks. In 2022, for instance, U.S. healthcare facilities experienced an 86% increase in attacks compared to the previous year. Food and beverage industries have also experienced an increase in cyber assaults. Similarly, the financial sector is extremely vulnerable to attack.
Compounding the inadequacy of defense systems, the U.S. also lacks enough cybersecurity professionals to "protect our most important and private information, from bank accounts to sensitive military communications," according to experts at CyberSeek. This "dangerous shortage of cybersecurity workers," they warn, "puts our digital privacy and infrastructure at risk."
