		<description><![CDATA[Those who read my Security Debrief posts or my Tweets will recognize (maybe with a groan) that one of my "issues" is the lack of action in Awareness and Education with regard to cybersecurity. It is not a sexy, nor a potentially lucrative issue, but I believe with all my heart that it is the foundational piece of any eventual "solution" to our cyber woes. Bottom line of Bucci's rant is this: we need to make Awareness and Education a real priority and expend the money, time, and personnel to do it correctly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post on Wire.com "Cyberwar Against Wikileaks? Good Luck With That" was brought to my attention by a good friend. She nominally just wanted my thoughts on the provocative article, but in effect, challenged me to blog on the subject. Some have argued that the U.S. Government could levy its cyber capabilities to stop WikiLeaks from sharing the classified information leaked to the online outlet by a young U.S. soldier. That defined a target is well within the capabilities of several different parts of the government, but it would be entirely self defeating. Using cyber capabilities to silence those with whom we disagree is exactly what privacy and civil liberties advocates fear most about the development of our cyber defenses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Next week, the Heritage Foundation will host "Homeland Security 2010: The Future of Defending the Homeland." This will be a week-long series of panels aimed at providing a good background for Congressional Staffers new to Homeland Security issues. Heritage did this last year, and it was an excellent event. I will be sitting on two of the panels - maritime security and cybersecurity. The panels are open to the public and all are welcome. I highly recommend it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several news items of late have addressed the thorny issue of cyber attribution; that is, the ability to identify the sources of Web and network attacks. For cyber companies and some government agencies, attribution is the Holy Grail. However, if we develop technology that provides attribution, soon bad governments will get it too. They will surely use it against dissident elements inside their own countries to suppress free speech and abridge other civil rights of all sorts. Should we consciously forgo the possibility of deterring bad guys from cyber crime, cyber terror and cyber war because the technology could be used badly? I think the answer is clearly "no."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You always feel a little shaky when you are planning on asserting that someone else is wrong. You feel more so when it is someone who is known as darn near a prophet in the particular field. However, no one has ever said that I was unwilling to express my opinions, so here goes. Richard Clarke, former adviser to multiple presidents, the Cassandra who warned of a coming attack before 9/11, now has a hit book out on the threat of a coming cyber war, why we are unprepared for it and what we must do. I will not attempt to do a complete review of the book, but I do want to point out two areas where I think Clarke missed the mark in his thinking.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On short notice, the White House gathered a distinguished group of industry, academic and Government types for a one-year anniversary of the President's speech on cyber, hosted by Howard Schmidt. The President spoke for 10 minutes as well. No press attended, but an attendee gave me this summary of the event. A lot of what was said was known to all, but it was interesting to hear how they are bringing it together - especially the emphasis on industry partnerships, which every speaker (including the President) emphasized. I love celebrations, but we really need to move forward more aggressively.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, let me get this straight: a private sector company INVITES the National Security Agency (NSA) to place sensors on its privately owned network to help the company protect itself from unauthorized and unwanted cyber intrusions. Perfect Citizen, as it is called, is a program to detect cyber assaults on critical infrastructure, be they publically or privately held. The NSA will deploy sensors in critical infrastructure computer networks to detect a cyber attack. Some have worried that Perfect Citizen constitutes too much government monitoring in the private sector, conjuring comparisons to George Orwell's 1984. But how in the world does Perfect Citizen constitute "Big Brother?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the recent Eurosatory Arms Show outside Paris, everyone seemed to be in dark suits and sunglasses. If you want a weapon or defense system, the latest hardware, or the means to stop it, this is your place. Spying at such events has always happened, and behind those suits and dark glasses there is an atmosphere of mutual distrust. Today, the threat has expanded. Cyber spying is alive and well at this very lucrative target environment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is perhaps poetic that many of the “successful” cyber criminals can be and are being hacked in the same ways they attack their legitimate targets. We tend to attribute near god-like cyber powers to these miscreants, when in reality, they write into their software the same kind of weaknesses that they are so good at exploiting. One wonders why law enforcement is not doing more "reverse hacking." In the same way cops "sting" drug dealers, unscrupulous government officials, and other criminals, they should be attacking cyber criminals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyber Crime comes in lots of flavors. It is diverse, sophisticated and expanding everyday.  It includes Internet fraud, online banking fraud, a highly developed cyber underground, a growing number of targeted areas, and the "advanced persistent threat," a term that until recently was classified. It is almost impossible to accurately determine the "cost" of cyber crime, but if we do not get hold of this threat, we are in deep trouble.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At day two of the AFCEA STRATCOM Cyber Security Symposium, I was a member of the Industry Panel. I took a breath and issued my challenge. Our moderator had asked each of the four panelists to make brief opening remarks on the state of industry in the cyber security issue space and to end with a "memorable" bumper sticker. It was my turn to make opening remarks. I went with my strong suit: directness, passion and leadership. I issued a challenge directly to Commanding General of StratCom with the bumper sticker "Make the Public-Private Partnership Real."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is great debate on the possibility, existence, inevitability and reality of Cyber War.  Some say we are in the midst of one everyday. Others say that this is just technologically enabled espionage, nowhere near a “war.” Those that think this is all a tempest in a teapot were dealt a blow recently when it was revealed that a special NATO Commission led by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is warning that the next aggression against a NATO member country will probably come via the cyber realm.

		<description><![CDATA[More and more people are becoming aware of Botnets and the problems they can cause.  What used to be an esoteric technical subject has entered the common vernacular, and well it should. The size and complexity of these zombie computer networks is staggering. Many have over a million personal computers as “members.” Obviously the vast majority of these have been incorporated without the knowledge or consent of the owners. The bottom line is this: you must be aware that Bots are out there, and they “want” your computer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that Congress has finally confirmed Gen. Keith Alexander for his fourth star and the duty of Commander, US Cyber Command, he has a tough road ahead.  Cyber Command will be a sub-unified command under U.S. Strategic Command.  It is not an intelligence organization – despite Alexander being dual hated as the Director of the National Security Agency – but is what the military refers to as a warfighting command. Alexander will have control of components from each of the services. As a Joint Commander, he must blend these elements into a cohesive force to deal with an enormous set of challenges in a unified manner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we experienced a major "event" in the financial world. In a matter of minutes, the New York Stock Exchange lost nearly 1000 points or about $1 trillion. It caused panic and kicked off numerous investigations as to the catalyst of the dramatic and expensive incident. There are five possible reasons for the market fall, but despite lots of hand wringing and conspiracy theorizing, pretty much all the experts agreed that it was not a terrorist incident.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to scare a cyber-lay person, have them watch Bruce Willis chase virtual terrorists in "Live Free or Die Hard" and tell them it is all possible. In the film, the entire digital infrastructure of our country is brought to a stand still by a small group of very talented hackers. OK, professional analysts have told me it could not happen today. It could, however, happen in the not too distant future, particularly if present trends continue. The keys to that scenario are SCADA systems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a Cloud Computing Summit this week, initial questions were simple and basic; later, the question grew almost hostile. I remain an advocate for Cloud Computing. I am convinced that its economic, ecological and efficiency pluses will out weigh its potential downsides in the end. The mostly government crowd was not so sure. They were asking tough questions and were more than a little skeptical.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been critical in the past of the fact that DHS has not done enough about cybersecurity. I believe DHS is the correct part of the federal government to lead on cyber issues, but it always seemed that everything was on hold. It turns out I was wrong. I attended a superb cybersecurity event, and while I would love to give you a complete blow-by-blow recount of the excellent panel presentations and the Q&#038;A, it was all done on a non-attribution basis. Despite that, I do feel compelled to share some of what I heard.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the privilege this past weekend to do several non-Beltway speaking engagements in Michigan. I spoke about 9/11, the war in Iraq and Afganistan, my old boss (Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld), terrorism and cybersecurity. These groups proved to be articulate, well educated and positively starving for information they expected to come from their government. But that did not surprise me as much as the fact that by far I received the most questions about cybersecurity.]]></description>
