Defense Tech : Partnerships Against Cyber Crime

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:47:17 +0000

I guess my point about ICSPA was missed. They are trying to bridge the gap between the public and private sector. Just as the same international partnership is necessary for cyber warfare. Will they succeed - to early to tell.

Defense Tech : Making Headway on Cyber Counterfeits

We know there are counterfeit chips orbiting the earth right now as well. Identifying those 59,000 counterfeit chips is a big step toward putting integrity back in our supply chain. There is still a long way to go. Not that long ago we did not even look at security problems or integrity issues in the supply chain.

UoMUC like the CIA choose to advertize on this page because of the large number of people visiting the site. The operators of the site sell the ad space like most other web pages!

History has shown us that the enemy's use highly distributed attacks so that will be difficult and time consuming not to mention we may be doing that to unwilling participants that are being used as pawns that the true enemy hides behind.

Defense Tech : Wikileaks Fiasco Exposes Gaping Holes in Cyber Domain

You hit at the hear of the issue I have been blogging about for years. There is an absence of of formal terms and definitions for cyber terrorism, cyber war, cyber attack and cyber espionage. I believe that making copies of US classified materials and giving them to anyone outside the United States or perhaps the United nations is an act of espionage because of the information they contain and the resulting damage. You also hit another key point - A human recovered the info from electronic storage using the standard means (which he was given access to). Where we differ is in my opinion and the opinion of several others, all active clearances fell that if you copy a digital file on to a CD that is an electronic function. I would further state that I believe there is case law that would backup this interpretation. What is so perplexing to me is what the hell ever happened to compartmentalization? That was to isolate, control and protect classified data - if that were in place, how did the soldier ever access such a broad swath of classified data?

Defense Tech : The Race to Build a Secure Operating System

Generally speaking - the business community tends to say away from all things NSA due to issues with public opinion. Also they want a commercial company behind their products and DEMAND full support.

Defense Tech : China Demands Computer Encryption Codes From Cyber Security Firms

Tue, 4 May 2010 19:57:40 +0000

We looked at that and the costs are too significant to support two completely different product lines (one for China and one for the NATO countries). They cannot share any circuitry or code.
