Cyber Security Responses

Response 1                                                          

Hello Dam!

It is quite an interesting topic, considering it is not the first time Russia has been accused of hacking into another country’s system to alter with something. Which mostly ends up being political.Estonia is considered to be one of the states that run electronically from their Identification cards to running the government, and even 90% of the population pays tax electronically. So, in my opinion, this meant a lot to Estonia as a country.It is hence forming the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence, tightening their security on cyber-attack, making Estonia a heavyweight in cybersecurity. I do agree with you that this was the first world cyber war. My opinion is that they did the right thing by involving all the parties (private sector, public, and the state) in this fight, which can paralyze a country. As for Russia, they only remain to be suspects. We will never know who did it for sure, though we know who did.

Brittany,

It is an exciting discussion about cyber attacks where different people are involved because of various reasons which may be financial, political or just a criminal activity. I entirely agree with you that the hunter can be the hunted when a participant in an attack can also become a victim. Many organizations always think that all attacks are the same forgetting that different attacks depending on the other kind of network or service used. Which also determine the strategy to be used to counter back.

I am looking forward to understanding ‘employing layers that use different methods to stop attackers so that a single attack or technology cannot succeed simply by penetrating a single system or layer of protection.’ Organizations need to be on the offense and defense to be in a positive cyber ware fare posture, as a lot is on the line. It includes financial information and other vital assets that are kept electronically.
