Summary:

  • Jay Chaudry founded the cybersecurity company Zscaler from a small village in Haryana and grew it into a company worth $5 billion.
  • The key to his success lies in his unique way of thinking focused on problem-solving.
  • Zscaler offers innovative cloud-based security solutions and is establishing a new standard in cybersecurity.

2. Three Structures Behind It

① The Structure of the Problems We Face Now

Demand for cybersecurity is surging, but traditional security methods find it difficult to cope. This is because the proliferation of the internet and advances in digitization have made threats more complex. Companies like Zscaler are trying to solve this problem from a new perspective.

② How It Connects to Our Lives

In our daily lives, we are increasingly dependent on the internet for online banking, shopping, and remote work. As a result, securing personal information and privacy is directly linked to our sense of safety and security.

③ We as ‘Choosers’

By raising our security awareness, we can choose a safer digital life. For instance, selecting reliable security services and implementing everyday security measures are important.

3. IF: What Happens If This Continues?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Cybersecurity Becomes Normal

The importance of cybersecurity will be increasingly recognized, and companies and individuals will adopt security measures as common sense. As a result, online activities will become safer; however, security costs may also rise, increasing the burden.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future Where Cybersecurity Technology Advances Significantly

Innovative technological developments by companies like Zscaler will further strengthen security, leading to a significant reduction in cybercrime. Consequently, trust in the digital society will improve, giving rise to new businesses and services.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Security Disparities Widen and Privacy Is Lost

While the evolution of security technology progresses, only large companies and developed countries may benefit, leaving individuals and small businesses still at risk. This could lead to serious issues of privacy invasion and information leakage.

4. What Choices Do We Have Now?

Action Items

  • As individuals, we should regularly change our passwords and use two-factor authentication.
  • As companies, adopting the latest security solutions and strengthening employee security education is essential.

Mindset Tips

  • Recognize that protecting personal information is synonymous with protecting one’s rights.
  • Consider investment in security as insurance to reduce future risks.

5. What Would You Do?

  • What actions will you take to raise security awareness?
  • Which services will you choose to protect your privacy online?
  • How will you learn and share knowledge about cybersecurity?

6. Conclusion: Preparing for 10 Years Ahead to Make Choices Today

What future did you envision? Each of our choices shapes the future security environment. Please share your thoughts on social media or in the comments.
