U.S. to go on cyber offensive?
Stewart Baker, who was the assistant secretary for policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the George W. Bush administration, recently stated that “To prevail in the cyber security war, defense is not enough.” The only conclusion that you can draw from this statement is to go on the cyber offensive!
MOSSAD THREAT
It has been reported that the Mossad actually threatened the hacking group Anonymous. If this is true it should be great interesting to watch from a distance. With the Mossad’s reputation and capabilities and the personality of Anonymous – the fireworks should be intense!!

2012 Cyber SitRep Released
Technolytics is a leader in cyber warfare analysis and training – our unique insight and foresight into cyber attacks, defense and intelligence is what sets us apart. The 2012 Cyber Situation Report (SitRep) tracks critical measures of ten unique aspects of threat intensity within the cyber domain over the last five years. Gathering cyber intelligence is in some ways easier and in other ways much more difficult than collecting intelligence in the physical world. This report assists those evaluating the threats within the cyber domain with graphically represented trends.
The New Face of War – Cyber
Most of the world’s governments, militaries and intelligence services are unprepared for the new face of war – CYBER. Just recently, Mike McConnell, former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. stated in an interview with Reuters that cyber war is more than a distant possibility and went on to say that the U.S. has already launched attacks on the computer networks of other nations. Many believe this threat will only be properly addressed once the world witnesses a successful cyber attack resulting in major disruptions and moderate to severe damage. How close we are to an event like this is anyone’s guess, but some believe it is right around the corner. Only time will tell.

Defend Yourself
The level of modern day society’s dependence on the Internet and overall vulnerability has become clear and now the concern has set in. The quantity and sophistication of attacks we have seen thus far this year has increased the concern of national security professionals. The single biggest step an organization can take to help secure their systems is to education themselves on the threats and techniques of cyber attacks and stay up to date on the latest cyber intelligence. Failure to take those to basic steps is what has helped get us here!
