Very interesting speech by @ciaranmartinoxf. "Cyber as a domain of military and national security operations co-exists with cyber as a domain of everyday life. It’s the same domain ... We are talking about, for the most part, the same technology." s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
'When I started out, I raised the UK’s cyber objectives with one senior figure in Government and I got the reply “Where’s the red button?”. I was struck that I wasn’t asked if there was a red button, and if there was, what purpose it served.' s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
'if cyber is an environment, are cyber weapons more akin to biological and chemical weapons, at least to digital infrastructure if not to humans? ... Would we ever hear anyone argue “we should have the best biochemical capabilities in the world?”.' s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
"remarks like “we should hit back hard in cyber space against those who attack us” imply that the cyber domain is enclosed, like a boxing ring, with only like-for-like capabilities...Whereas it’s obvious ... that there’s no need to fight cyber with cyber.' s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
"Is an attack on the power supply of another country something we will be willing to contemplate? Will we even take out a broadcaster, even if we could? In what circumstances would it be lawful? Does the other country see it as a serious proposition?" s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
.@ciaranmartinoxf: "In my view, it is irresponsible for Governments to plan on the basis that they can develop and store cyber capabilities on the assumption that they will never leak or be stolen. So this aspect of risk management must be priced in" s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
"we must be unambiguously in favour of safer technology. That holds even if that sometimes makes deploying our own offensive cyber capabilities harder because a rising tide of security will, to some extent, lift all boats, including adversarial ones" s26304.pcdn.co/wp-content/upl…
