Hopefully the technology will work for us and we havent been hacked in the interim. Here we go. To move on why a book about cybersecurity and cyberwar and why now . For me, its best encapsulated by two quotes. The first is from president obama. He declared that cybersecurity risks posed quote a most serious economic and National Security challenges of the 21st century the second quote is from a former cia director who said quote rarely has something been so important and so talked about with less and less clarity and less apparent understanding.

Or take the organizations for example i had a senior u. S. Military official argue with me that and al qaeda were the same thing. Wherever you stand on anonymous and i have a good outfit i am more pathetic towards them than anyone in the d. C. s security establishment but the bottom line is wherever you stand on than they differ from al qaeda in everything from their organization, their personnel, their profile, there means, their ends, pretty much the only thing they share is they are doctors that begin with the letter a. These gaps in understanding the disconnect of policy reality intact knowledge he mean that we are not only seeing growing tension. Its one of the things that is feeding into the u. S.
