Cybersecurity thoughts and issues from a political perspective

The daily life and economics of the global citizen depend each time more on a stable, secure, and resilient cyberspace; protection of intellectual property and business/personal sensitive information against illegal practices (theft and misuse, mainly) is getting critical within the high-level business and operational processes and capabilities. This short but concise paper puts forward a series of relevant issues we need to face in cyber-security in a short and mid-term; big data, the human factor, identification, false information published online, hacktivism, among others, are issues, terms, concepts and technologies we want to take into account sooner than later in regard to cyber-security as individuals, entities and enterprises. Only adopting a "forward looking" and innovative insight, continuously reviewing, rethinking and redesigning the security framework principles,as well as doing unknown risk exercises, the organizations will be able ensure service continuity.
