Cybersecurity is becoming more of a common tongue term in today's industry. It is being passed around the executive meetings along with financial information and projected marketing strategies. Here are some common attack vectors plaguing the industry when it comes to network infrastructure. It does not really matter the infrastructure type you have. If there is value to the data you are transferring within, someone wants to get it.
- Reconnaissance Attacks
- Access Attacks
- Denial of Service Attacks
It is a pipe dream to believe a network infrastructure is invulnerable; however, the possibility of being protected is within grasp. Fundamentally, it comes down to knowledge of what can happen to your network, knowing your equipment and training up the staff.

From experience, once you are intelligent enough to know what 'port scan' means, the government, and every government, wants to know everything you do, all of the time, anyway, and they are just biding their time waiting for you to cross the line, which they are moving in your direction as fast as they can.
I strongly suspect everyone else who cannot demonstrate similar or analagous value and/or capacity(e.g. hot babes, born rich folk) has their data expunged after a few centuries.
Letting bitcoin get out was either an enigma level government secret or the biggest 'intelligence' fuckup in history as someone superintelligent was able to work this all up outside of their view.
It's tragedy of the commons isn't it? What if everybody was portscanning everyone all of the time, whole internet would break. Same thing goes for everyone watching an episode of the stupidest tv show ever made. I find the latter more offensive personally, at least with the former we are all expressing an interest in each other. Fact is though most traffic directed at a website is not there with good intentions, they are taking the energy used to load and serve the site and move those electrons as a favor you are handing out, a cost of doing business, and for them a roll of the dice that you are a rube who might hand them a million bucks from your sheer incompetence.
Yet another slimy lateral power grab, trying to set you up for others. Some people say this version of the net is just broken, hard to argue against that, not sure I would try.
