Welcome back, everybody, to the New Cyber Frontier Podcast. We continue theThird in the Eight-episode series with Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog. In thisepisode, we discuss the nature of newly evolving open markets in comparisonto human historical examples of frontiers. The digital and virtual frontierhas infinite possibilities that we barely have scratched the surface of,raising the question, How far can we go? In this digital realm, numerous companies have grown over the years to become the largest entities in theworld with an entire virtual presence. Over the next few years, many moreare anticipated to make a digital transformation. Participation in thepost-digital transformation era has been mostly restricted to largeentities; these large companies are difficult to compete with if you are newor entering markets because small businesses and individuals are unknown anduntrusted. The individual is relatively uninvolved in this digitaltransformation; their efforts and digital works are the currency of largeentrenched companies. The individual is unprotected. Dr. Gorog explains,"Should the right tools to protect the individual exist, the value of theindividual to enter is high, the cost is low, and the entry is instant." Thepotential is high if the tools existed to do it." Heading in a directionwhere the individual protects their data, not the company, is a new frontiertoday. We are looking towards empowering individuals in this technical andvirtual era. Tune in to today's episode of New Cyber Frontier.
