MREN – balancing efficiency and security

In the August edition of Maritime Reporter and Engineering News (MREN) you can find my article "Balancing Efficiency and Security". We live in an increasingly complex society. Electronics and computers have greatly increased our efficiency, but have also created security risks previously unknown. To operate in our modern world we must balance these two elements. Otherwise, we run the risk of losing both. (8/17/17) [http://www.brymar-consulting.com/wp-content/uploads/MREN/MREN170800.pdf]. Fonte: Dennis Bryant.
