From the 1970s Morris Worm to today's AI-powered Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), cybersecurity has
evolved from simple password protection to sophisticated zero-trust architectures. Explore pivotal moments:
the birth of antivirus software, the emergence of firewalls, the cryptographic wars, and the integration of
machine learning into threat detection systems.
Artificial Intelligence transformed cybersecurity from reactive to predictive. Starting with expert systems
in the 1980s, progressing through neural networks for anomaly detection, to modern deep learning models
capable of identifying zero-day exploits and behavioral analytics for insider threat detection.
Learn from history's most significant security incidents: from the 1988 Internet Worm to recent supply chain
attacks. Each breach shaped modern security practices, regulatory frameworks, and defensive strategies.
