“It is amazing that in a relatively short period of time, many of us have come to rely so much, on the online world for some of our standard services. That could be buying books or groceries, banking and if you are a medic –education, learning and professional development. Of course we can still perform these tasks via the traditional “bricks and mortar” methods and establishments but slowly yet surely we are performing many tasks online which previously we performed offline. However both the virtual and real world need to provide some form of security to protect their users from fraud and malicious abuse of their property such as credit cards and other financial resources, as well as identity fraud. In addition to security, it is important to consider resilience, stability and safety when dealing with internet issues.”
