Humans are inherently unique from other creatures or machines because of our ability to use:
- Communication: Language capacity.
- Creativity: Abstract thought.
- Critical thinking: Reasoning and planning.
These aspects make cybersecurity an engaging challenge. Ultimately, cybersecurity is a fight between humans.
With sophisticated threats, attackers and defenders alike use their unique humanness — communication, creativity, and critical thinking — to find ways to achieve their goals. The most devastating attacks are those that are unexpected.
