Oh what the he77...

I feel like I posted this before but what the heck... Nobody reads this anyways!! Ha Ha Ha!

In WWII carpet bombing laid waist to most of Europe leaving little to nothing behind. In contrast today a FAC can sight an insurgent truck with GPS positioning binoculars to call in an orbiting B-52 to prosecute the target. The correlation between the history of modern warfare and the development and maturization of malicious code could be viewed as striking.

A concern seen expressed on INFOSEC blogs is that threats to a theoretical or “typical” enterprise could operate with impunity due to the security controls in place not having the ability to adapt and respond to new and emerging threats. I think the Federal IT space is at a point now that from a modern warfare perspective could be equated to the time before the GiG came into being an integral part of the warfighters toolset. I see great possibilities to transform federal information security through cost effective risk management.
