But that may be the wrong approach to cybersecurity, said Martin Libicki, senior management scientist at the RAND Corp. It also would be a mistake for the U.S. government to assume that "cyber deterrence" can work to avert attacks, the scientist said March 31 at the Air Force Association’s CyberFutures symposium. The United States already has a strong deterrent in the form of the world’s most powerful military, Libicki said. And while cyberwar contains elements of electronic warfare, special operations and terrorism, activities in cyberspace are unique and not related to other forms of warfare, Libicki said. “Is this really a place dominated by warriors or engineers?” he said. “Is it a domain in which superiority makes sense? Is it a domain in which you can even talk about dominating because you have your cyberspace and they have their cyberspace? . . . You can’t talk about [cyberspace] as domain No. 5 and let it go at that.” [...] ___________________________________________________________ Tegatai Managed Colocation: Four Provider Blended Tier-1 Bandwidth, Fortinet Universal Threat Management, Natural Disaster Avoidance, Always-On Power Delivery Network, Cisco Switches, SAS 70 Type II Datacenter.
