Putting Your Chips on the Table
Making big security bets each time you buy technology
Hey, where did you buy that router? Do you know who made the components, wrote the drivers, or the embedded code that makes it tick? Or how about the chipset in that new server or smart meter? Com'on, be honest, you know squat. Well, no biggie, right? It's just a chip, some basic instructions to process a few bits through a pile of transistors. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the bad guys know better.
Cyber Theater of War (Part 2)
How cyberwar will change military strategy
In part 1 I provided a short recap on the topic of cyberwar and gave some basic perspectives of how military tactics have changed to accommodate different enemies and environments in history. Most importantly the integration of the enemy making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe and the fact that status can change without warning, what we currently see with insurgents and reflective of the cyber theater of war. Another point I wanted to hit home with you is the arsenal of military weapons we have at our disposal have been, in some cases, rendered moot.
