privacy revolves around people. Human
factors in cybersecurity mean we should
give more focus to user experience,
including interface design, usability,
interactions, and workflow. We must go
beyond the usual technical measures and
rules trying to govern behaviour.
We need to bake security and privacy
in from the start. Investors should
perform due diligence on start-ups, to
gain assurance that these things are
considered and delivered, protecting the
investor, start-up and customers. We must
recognise and reward good practices and
penalise bad ones.
We need to understand how the internet
of things changes security models. Control
has moved away from the IT department,
into facilities management and domestic
environments; more SCADA than server.
We must ensure that IoT vendors build
their systems for secure operation,
management and updates.
We need to expand into new areas
of automation with caution. Self-driving
cars are not just big mobile devices with
apps – confidentiality is our least concern;
integrity of data (e.g. speed/fuel/pressure,
not only emissions) is important; and loss
of availability can be fatal. We must treat
vehicles as a safety critical system.
Maybe we need to think about
expanding the coverage of cyberethics,
to better reflect the volume, velocity, and
INFORMATION SECURITY
variety of system and personal data,
including telemetry, metadata and content,
which can be collected, analysed and
shared by emerging tech innovations –
before we need to stuff the genie back in
the lamp.

As the world of cyber evolves, we need to drive innovation which
moves past the conventional IT world and the wider world of mobile
devices and apps, to consider where else we need to innovate to
ensure we keep safe wherever and however we connect, says Gareth
Niblett, Chair of the BCS Information Security Specialist Group.
