Is it Finally Time to Take Cyberwarfare Serious? February 17, 2011

Cyberwarfare has been defined by government security expert Richard A. Clarke, in his book Cyber War (May 2010), as “actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation’s computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption.”
William J. Lynn, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, states that “as a doctrinal matter, the Pentagon has formally recognized cyberspace as a new domain in warfare.” At RSA he declared cyber warfare as “the fifth domain of warfare” which has become just as critical to military operations as land, sea, air, and space.”
I’m thinking it’s time to take Cyberwarfare seriously, but don’t believe everything you read in the press. I sleep well knowing that Cyberwarefare and Information Security is finally being taken serious by the Pentagon.
