In his book, The Future of the Mind, Dr. Michio Kaku, an American physicist and futurist writes that the two greatest mysteries in all of nature are these: the mind and the universe.

In the Internet era, we have excitedly uncovered many of life’s mysteries and experience interrup- tions brought by accelerated innovations and technological breakthroughs. While this connectiv- ity has enabled us to be more efficient and produce more profits, it has also made us more depend- able and vulnerable. Security (privacy) has become an integral part of how to keep our increasingly data-driven economy functioning more secure and away from harmful breaches.
