1:CLICK 2:CYBER CHAOS

If it were a country, cybercrime would be the third largest economy in the world behind the United States and China. Best estimates suggest cybercrime will cost $10.5 trillion globally on an annual basis by the year 2025. In fact, AT and T says that represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history. So, what do we do? How do you do business? How does a government function? How do you safeguard your investments in the face of that historic threat? This Story Studio Network podcast series, ponders those questions and explores the solutions to harden. Cybersecurity. Welcome to 1:CLICK 2:CYBER CHAOS. It's not a matter of if, but when your data will be breached. It is hospitals that are being attacked. It is financial institutions. It is governments. It's everyone, including individuals. When you look at things like connected cities and connected cars and connected devices, they are all entry points for “the bad guys” to get into your networks. Combatting cybercrime is becoming all the more challenging. There's a shortfall of 3 million jobs globally. That’s good news for those who are pursuing a career in cyber security. We believe this podcast will be an eye-opener. Put an ear on it. 1:CLICK 2:CYBER CHAOS is produced for Coding for Veterans and the University of Ottawa by Story Studio Network and iContact Productions.

What if there were no coders left who knew how to keep your banking services running? Or your mortgage safe?

That’s where we are with COBOL. It is a six-decades-old computer programming language with too few coders left to run it. A challenge that has remained largely invisible to the public.

Why have we allowed this antiquated banking system to persist despite our willingness to embrace innovation? What are the cyber security and e...

The integration of artificial intelligence in various industries has brought about significant benefits. However, this technological advancement has also raised several moral and ethical concerns, particularly cyber security.

How do we deal with this? Where do we start?

What about global conflicts?
