One of the most interesting historical views of cybersecurity in 2020 was on display at London’s Science Museum in the exhibit TOP SECRET: From Cyphers To Cybersecurity, which marked the 100th birthday of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the United Kingdom’s intelligence and security organisation. World War II coding machines, secure Cold War telephones, and machines infected with historic cybersecurity threats are among the more than 100 artifacts on display. The person tasked with pulling the exhibit together was Elizabeth Bruton (pictured), curator of technology and engineering at the Science Museum, who told The Irish Times, “We have objects on display that have never been seen before; they’ve been declassified for our exhibition.”
