  • Abstract
    Until we establish professional standards of practice for cybersecurity, Internet commerce will be punctuated by calamities like the Sony exploit of 2014. We continue to put a growing percentage of our assets online, providing organized vandals, criminals, and terrorists with lucrative targets such as Sony Pictures Entertainment. As the facts of Sony´s experience become public, we are seeing important lessons for the Internet enterprise and notable implications for the discipline of security engineering.
