It's Well Beyond Viruses: The Face of Global Digital Security Threats in post-Pandemic World .

In 1993 the Canadian Broadcast Corporation ran a brief clip about how something called "The Internet" was connecting millions to talk about sports scores, recipes, philosophy and gossip.  In the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, almost everyone depended upon the internet in order to get through it.  The deep dependency on cyber technology and connectivity raises security concerns.  As Mark Raymond shares with GDP, these concerns are far more concerning than the idea of sinister hackers and henchmen unleashing the next virus.
