The Cyberwar Arms Race. I’m not worried about cyberwar, but I am worried about the proliferation of cyber weapons. Arms races are fundamentally destabilizing, especially when their development can be so easily hidden. I worry about cyberweapons being triggered by accident, cyberweapons getting into the wrong hands and being triggered on purpose, and the inability to reliability trace a cyberweapon leading to increased distrust. Plus, arms races are expensive.
Three Emerging Cyber Threats by Bruce Schneier.
It’s hard to argue with Schneier, as he is one of the most insightful security commentators around. He has always taken a much more pragmatic view of the world rather than predicting doom and gloom like so many pundits and news organizations.
