How should we
define attack,
war, security
and expectations
of privacy in
cyberspace?
In early December, three major banks
reported cyber incidents, including
the Royal Bank of Scotland and
JPMorgan Chase, a reminder of
the vulnerability of critical financial
infrastructure. That same week,
Iran accused Israel and Saudi Arabia
of plotting a Stuxnet-like attack
on Iran's nuclear program. With
the fallout of revelations by former
National Security Agency contractor,
Edward Snowden, still reverberating
in western capitals, questions continue to arise about the capacity of
governments in critical infrastructure
protection, digital surveillance and
ensuring personal privacy. General
Michael hayden, former director of
the NSA and the Central Intelligence
Agency, spoke with editor Chris
Thatcher about the cyber domain
and the balance between privacy and
security.
