Privacy? No. Privacy has ended. Property? Everything is visible and traceable, and abundant.
The 'thing' that will need security is the network system. Networks will need to be secured from 'entropy' and other 'organic' afflictions.
I think Cyber security is entering into new grounds.
Nope. Network systems are basically pipes. Their protocols are written on hardware or firmware ..the routing logic is immutable, once it is burned onto the silicon at the factory thats it. That is why you will rarely hear statements like ..hackers cracked a router at uvw and did xyz. It is 'source' and 'end' systems that need protecting because their logic is software based, hence mutable. It is extremely hard to hack hardware, especially when you have no physical access.
