Conclusion. Historical Insights: Cyber Security has seen its fair share of evolution, ranging from the Morris Worm to the recent attacks on companies such as Equifax, signifying that protective measures are essential. Current Challenges: The designed type of threats, novel ones such as APTs or AI-based attacks, legal challenges, and economic consequences evidence the need for strong protection services. Future Readiness: To address these threats, it is necessary to pursue the policy of defense in Depth, follow the principles of zero trust architecture, and develop precautions in the case of quantum computing..
