Hello my name is Christopher Tomes I decided to write about cyber security because the topic has always been an interest to me.  The future of the world will rely on computer and staying safe online, in the general public and through government agencies is a key to the future.  If the world wants to move forward we have to work together and not cause conflict between each other, cyber defense is one step forward to doing this.  The less conflict we have the faster we can progress.  Many companies data is being stolen through hackers, mainly in China and their products are being reproduced and sold as knockoffs.  I hope you enjoy reading my paper on cyber security and you gain an interest in it like I have.
