Cybersecurity in the News

"The government and EU should be giving greater attention to how cyber-security could be developed on a global basis, . . . Consideration needs to be given to the gradual development of international rules which will effectively discourage the launching of proxy attacks from within the jurisdiction of some of the main users of the Internet."

UK, House of Lords European Union Committee on Cybersecurity. Article Source

Do you believe our adversaries have the capability of bringing down a power grid? I do. Is the U.S. prepared for such an attack? No. The United States is not prepared for such an attack.

Retired Admiral Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence, November 2009

Udo Helmbrecht, executive director of European Network and Information Agency (ENISA), Philip Reitinger of the US Department of Homeland Security, and Teri Takai, technology advisor to the governor of California, concluded at the East-West Institute Cybersecurity Conference that while not working well on the tactical level, worldwide cybersecurity cooperation was practically non-existent at the strategic level.
