If 2024 were a movie, it’d be a dystopian thriller where the hacker is both the hero and the villain. Picture this: Change Healthcare—a linchpin in America’s healthcare system—gets breached, exposing the private data of millions and prompting everyone to wonder if their medical records were now on sale alongside cheap knockoff sunglasses in a darknet bazaar. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity bigwig supposedly built to stop such calamities, faced its own cyber event. That’s like hearing a fire station caught fire—and no, the irony doesn’t make it any less terrifying.
Add to this chaos a laundry list of cyber skirmishes: Iranian hackers weaponizing IoT devices, the endless menace of ransomware attacks, keyloggers and trojans, and state-sponsored espionage campaigns from the usual suspects (China and Russia, here’s looking at you). In short, cybersecurity in 2024 was less of a strategy and more of a Whac-A-Mole game—but with the moles being sophisticated state actors and American institutions holding the mallet backward.
And now, just as the dust from one administration’s digital debacle begins to settle, Donald Trump is gearing up to re-enter the Oval Office. The question is: Can Trump 2.0 deliver the “cyber-safe” America that the past year has shown we desperately need?
The Geopolitical Soup: Why Cybersecurity Is the Great Equalizer
It’s impossible to talk about cybersecurity without acknowledging the sheer chaos of the world today. The Ukrainian War rages on, Israel is knee-deep in conflict, Iran remains a loose cannon, and, oh yes, the Islamic State is staging a comeback in Syria. Add the U.S. southern border mess, and you’ve got a global potluck of instability.
Amid this disorder, cyber warfare has emerged as the great equalizer. You don’t need a trillion-dollar defense budget to wreak havoc on an adversary. A clever hacker with a state sponsor can bypass tanks and drones to hit hospitals, power grids, and even elections. This is why ignoring cybersecurity is akin to leaving the front door wide open while the house burns down. Sure, the fire’s urgent, but so is the burglar waltzing in. […]
