A real good read in today’s New York Times on Defense Department efforts to evaluate high-level cybersecurity threats and defense and response scenarios, and just how murky the universe of cyber threats remains.
One small nit to pick: The article states that unless the Chinese government takes steps including lifting current policies of enforcing Internet search engine censorship, then “millions of young Chinese will be deprived of the Google search engine, and be left to the ones controlled by the Chinese government.”
The Google.cn search engine made available by the company in China is already subject to government censorship rules; the regular Google search engine is available as a link from the Google.cn site, but some users of it in China in recent times have reported that connectivity to some of its search results may still effectively be blocked for users in China.
From AP late yesterday and overnight on Google’s reported talks with the Chinese government to keep research and other functions in China even it if shuts down the Google.cn business.
From Government Technology , some thoughts on the size of the “window” of near-term action for federal cybersecurity policy. -- JC
