I attended the opening of the International Spy Museum's Weapons of Mass Disruption gallery (seen in above photo) in Washington D.C. and I heard former intelligence officials and experts in the cyber technology field discuss the threat of cyber warfare.
The speakers included Philip Reitinger, the Deputy Under Secretary of National Protection and Programs Directorate in the Department of Homeland Security, Admiral Mike McConnell, former Director of National Intelligence, R. James Woolsey, former CIA Director, and several others.
The gallery illustrates how spies, terrorists and criminals can turn electrical power lines into battle lines. Cyber warfare can bring a nation to its knees by someone, as Spy Museum Chairman Milton Maltz put it, with a weapon no more sinister than a common laptop computer.
You can also learn about the history of cyber warfare by reading my Q&A with Spy Museum historian Thomas Boghardt (seen in above photo). You can read the interview via below:

ReplyDeleteTechnology is not just a blessing but it can be a threat as well. We need to be careful about how we improve things because it can lead to our own downfall.
