Question Raised: How can we be sure that these global corporations have our best security interests at heart?
Human Fallibility

Inconvenience:
The Issue: Healthy cybersecurity tools often make it more difficult for the user to navigate the internet.
Question Raised: Can users and security specialists find a happy medium between ease-of-use and consumer safety?
Security vs. Privacy
The Issue: As global and political cyberattacks increase in numbers, governments may feel the need to become more involved in private cybersecurity, to the possible detriment of individuality.
Question Raised: Where do we draw the line between security and privacy for private citizens?
Tools of the Trade
