CYBERSĂ„KERHET
I en tid där rapporter om cyberangrepp duggar tätt behöver vi förstå och kunna hantera dessa händelser. Genom att analysera angrepp och förstå detaljerna i utförandet och de inblandande aktörerna skapar vi bättre förståelse för det skydd som behöver byggas och de metoder som kan användas för en mer träffsäker identifiering av framtida angrepp.

Paul de Souza, CSFI Founder PresidentÂ
No other nation in the world can claim to have all nations being represented under one flag in unity, under one constitution, under one God (worshiped in different ways, of course), with freedoms and opportunities to help everyone to achieve his or her full potential in this life. I have traveled across the world, and in almost every trip I take, I hear about the desire of many to immigrate to the land of opportunity. Why does America attract so many people? I believe the main driving forces are opportunity and freedom.
I also hear tremendous criticism regarding our internal affairs, from lack of tolerance to immaturity as a people. What makes America special, hated, and loved?
Like any experiment, significant adjustments are necessary from time to time. Growth is ever present as we mature as one nation under God. There is not one dull moment when living in America. Abraham Lincoln mentioned that America would under no circumstances be destroyed from the outside; he goes on to say that if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. America can only be destroyed from the inside. The people can falter, and the beautiful experiment that is America could fall apart. Unfortunately, our adversaries understand this principle too well. Tremendous efforts from other, not so friendly, nations toward America are centered on destroying America from the inside, by leading people to falter and to influence our citizens to forfeit their freedoms through deception. How can we as Americans protect ourselves from never faltering?
Harry S Truman said that America was not built on fear but on courage, on imagination, and on an unbeatable determination. I am a firm believer in these three essential principles as key elements to securing our freedoms and not to falter. There is not one day in my life that I do not strive to have the courage to do the right thing, to be creative (if we do not adapt, we certainly die), and to be determined in the face of opposition.
We continue to fight segregation, indifference, and prejudice. Social and cultural integration can be a challenge even today, thus adding to our internal destruction. We are not done growing, and that is good news. There are no two identical outcomes, much like every painting is unique in color and in depth. Everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. America is an idea, and like many ideas, it all starts with a mental representation of a concept. Unfortunately, many of our own continue to attempt to morally corrupt the idea of America that we are all equals. America is you and me. It is not only the city of Washington in all its glory, much like Rome was never about Caesar but about the people of Rome. You are America! Believe in this with your entire core, and move our country forward every day by having courage, by being creative, and by being determined. Our American resolve is solid as steel, and our people are strong, yet gentle. Remember to never be neutral. Face the storms, be humble, and preserve the foundations of peace. The concentration of disadvantage corrupts our freedoms. I see the gap of educational opportunities growing in America. Higher education can make America exceptional. Let us continue to value education and to make it available to every American citizen. Education is the way out poverty and ignorance, especially for those who were not born wealthy.
I will leave you with the words of Hebert Hoover who held office during the onset of the Great Depression:
“Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit. Here alone is human dignity not a dream but an accomplishment. Perhaps it is not perfect, but it is more full in realization here than any other place in the world.”
Not a dream, but an accomplishment…
