Cybersecurity as an Extension of Privacy in Libraries

摘要

I was asked by someone in the telecom industry about the overlap between cyber-security and library issues. This edition of CIL encouraged me to get my thoughts in order on this topic. As library workers, we often have other priorities that take precedence over the nebulous idea of cybersecurity, and I want to outline some practical things libraries can do or think about. Previous articles have discussed HTTPS, avoiding scams, being safe online, and assessing soft-ware vulnerabilities. This column is more concerned with proactive responses to cyber-security ideals from a library perspective.
