The 3-C Model
December 12, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
Information Operations is changing from a focus on the former five components to ‘how’ IO works. What is lacking is a model. Without a model we can talk about IO in a general sense but there are no ways to divvy up what we do into logical divisions, dissuading useful discussions within our field...

Breaches: Digital Transparency, WARPs, and Collective Intelligence
September 19, 2012 Added by:Christopher Laing
For collective intelligence directed at security breaches, I would argue, that an effective means of transparently sharing details without fear of recrimination and embarrassment would greatly reduce the impact of such breaches. Fine idea, but how can this be achieved?

On Project Viglio
August 21, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
A group such as this, extra-legal as they seem to be and rather deliberately evasive using the rubric of “secrecy” as their cloak should set all of your spidey senses off. At best they are a group of people seeking to do good, but in fact may be doing ill by carrying out poor OSINT...

Defcon Grows Up and Gets Recruited as an Asset
July 31, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
With the advent of Anonymous and Stuxnet and the nascent idea of the internet becoming a “digital nation state” we all have to be mindful that while the technologies out there are a commodity, so too are we in the great game of cold war intelligence and cyber war. We are the commodity that makes the new exploit...

UK Intelligence and Security Committee Annual Report
July 20, 2012 Added by:Stefano Mele
"There appears to have been some progress on developing cyber capabilities. However, cyber security is a fast-paced field and delays in developing our capabilities give our enemies the advantage. We are therefore concerned that much of the work to protect UK interests in cyberspace is still at an early stage..."

What Actions Do Your Security Metrics Promote?
July 12, 2012 Added by:Tripwire Inc
“It is possible to focus on a single metric and drive it up or down, but wreak havoc on the organization through unintended side effects. Some organizations have to deal with some people “gaming the metrics”, which again can lead to unintended side effects. Other organizations use metrics as a way to begin a conversation..."

Exploring Hacktivism and the Deep Web
July 03, 2012 Added by:Pierluigi Paganini
When we think of hacktivism, immediately we connect it to anonymity. In fact, those who wish to express their dissent through hacktivism most often prefer the use of anonymity. It's clear that the ultimate context in which these people can freely exchange ideas and information is through the Deep Web...

Information Warfare and Cyberspace
May 30, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
Why do I keep running into the phrase Information Warfare? If the discussion is about cyber and warfare in cyberspace, why use the phrase Information Warfare? Has cyber ‘anything’ become so overused that we need to resort to using a much broader term to interest people in a cybersecurity discussion?

Patriot Hackers, Cyber Vigilantes, and Shot Placement
May 25, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
Governments need to get a handle on this. If they want patriot hacker units, then they will have them and they will be controlled. As opposed to the Batman vigilante model that we now have here. If they did this, there would be plenty of volunteers and it might be a good thing...

Dutch Military Intelligence Dives into Cyber
May 21, 2012 Added by:Don Eijndhoven
One of the most interesting facts extracted from the report is that the MIVD will focus the majority of its cyber warfare efforts in countering espionage. Given that this is probably the most tangible and widely represented cyber activity currently employed, this is a wise choice...

Attribution: Inductive vs. Deductive Reasoning
May 18, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
In the present day where cyberwar is all the rage, and governments as well as private sector entities are seeking to cash in on the power grab that is mostly information warfare - as the Chinese call it - too many are forgetting a core problem to the picture: Attribution...

AQ, AQAP, BVD Bombs, CIA, INSPIRE, Media, Moles... Oh My
May 09, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
Al-Qaeda has a plan to leverage the internet even more than they already are. I believe they will continue to put the magazine out and perhaps inspire others to make clones. The ubiquitous nature of the internet will only serve to allow their propaganda to be loosed upon us all...

SEALs, Spies, Security, and Celebrity
May 01, 2012 Added by:Jeffrey Carr
When the largest security companies in the world have had their source code stolen by hackers, our present security model is broken. Matt Brazil, a former U.S. embassy commercial officer in Beijing, will show executives how to survive in China without losing their secrets...
