Abstract
There was a cause for concern surrounding the world’s various environmental systems regulated by companies, industries, and government facilities. In this unexpected area of technology, cyber standards were called for questioning through risk assessments and standards. Environmental facilities were evaluated for cyberattack statistics and how their technology is managed. Another obstacle that was acknowledged in this research was the knowledge gap between professionals, scholars, and the public with understanding cyberspace and environmental factors. Events and statistics were collected from various materials to show crucial information needed to be shared, along with the level of urgency this concern should be considered. Additionally, cyber standards and practices set in place were called for questioning in its sustainability. Statistical models in development were presented and observed for further understanding of cyberspace and how it correlates to our current environmental problem. This research found that despite the dominance technology had over many aspects of daily living for citizens, lawmakers and human activists remain at a standstill on debates and policies, unable to provide security to combat cyber dangers. Aside from this concern, most focus has been on climate change and biodegradation, so the progress to address these issues looks challenging.
