 * Name of article: Shlomo Argamon
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I have chosen this article to evaluate because Cybersecurity is a very interesting body of technology that processes and practices on how to protect networks, devices and valuable personal data.

I want to see what other ties can be created between both elements and how they can benefit society.
