Episode 20 – Cyber Warfare/Cyber Defense: Part I
Amrit Williams, CTO of BigFix, Inc. and Charles Dodd, CTO of NICOR discuss the rapid evolution of state- and terrorist-sponsored cyber-warfare from a hypothetical threat to a current reality. While society is best served by avoiding panic or over-reaction, the US has lagged in its understanding of cyber-warfare threats and its response to them. The podcast touches on the differences of cyber warfare-driven intelligence gathering, compromise of public infrastructure and even the potential for turning lethal military assets against their users. Part I of a two-part podcast.
