Each time I see “cyber” used in a headline (so far it happened once) without any other hints that it’s about security, I am initially confused. What is wrong with the term “infosec”, exactly? Clear, logical, well-known and most widely used term to mean—you guessed it—information security.
replyThere does not have to be a term committee or term police for colloquial use, but to me referring to somebody calling it out when terminology makes no sense as “making a stink” says something about the objector.
Cyber expands way past infosec. And that's the crux of the problem with the complainers these days. You don't understand the full picture. You've convinced yourself you do. And so you tilt at windmills like an idiot.
replyOk, what’s cyber to you?
replyAt least this site managed to not get shut down because it appears to foster timely communication to cybercriminals :D
replyIs it really? I actually didn't understand the headline because I have never seen "cyber" been used this way. It's pretty stupid and I think we have all the rights to push back.
replyAt least we hardly ever have to hear anyone say "cyberspace" anymore
