Cyber War - Are we at war today?

29/7/2022

0 Comments

 

Recent activity in Ukraine has demonstrated the way that cyber operations influence military actions as technology is used for almost every aspect of modern living.  I had the opportunity to attend the International Conference on Cyber Conflict in Tallinn Estonia, the home of the NATO Center of Excellence for Cyber Defense.  Speakers included the Ambassador from Ukraine and General Nakasone, Head of US Cyber Command.  The attached presentation gives some of the thoughts behind the concept of Cyber Warfare and the US stance today.  You can look at the presentation here. cyber_war_22.pdf

In the presentation the challenges associated with understanding the threat to individuals, companies and even governments are discussed in terms of the volume of malware, the velocity of data on today's internet and the variety of actors.  All of this adds up to Big Data requiring computers to assist the small number of trained workers able to protect us in this relatively new domain that we take for granted with our smart phones, our web browsing and on-line shopping.

Mother Earth asks: Will the Children Learn?

Tears fell this week from heavy clouds,
raining down upon the broad fields
planted with thousands of white crosses,
the only harvest from the blood shed
by millions in the War to end all Wars
 
I ask, will my children learn?

Hot winds swept the rage into frenzy,
stoking the fires with Santa Ana breath.
Homes and lives lost in a dry storm,
temperatures rising, estates expanding
into the canyons and hills, indefensible.
 
Will my children learn from this?

Will my children learn from this?

Floodwaters flash death in the deserts.
Amidst bickering over long held grudges,
the real concerns of food, home, family
remain a mystery not to be discussed.
And fresh water runs off to salty seas.
 
Again, I ask… will my children learn?

Veterans gathered round the globe.
Heroes acting out national walls.
They know wars toll on the body,
aches remain from commands salute.
Families reflect on those not returned.
 
What will it take, my children, to learn?
