Air Force Cyber Command, And It’s Not A Video Game
Posted by newscoma | Posted in Tennessee | Posted on 15-04-2008
Don Fenley, the author of Of This And That, points us this morning to a story from Business Week about the military and YouTube. Yep, I said that right:
The YouTube recruitment video is part of a high-profile ad campaign running on TV, in print, and on the Web. In the ads, the Air Force boasts of its ability to protect the nation from a potentially devastating cyber attack. The ads overstate just how protected the U.S. military’s networks are, but they underscore a new sense of urgency: As computer networks play increasingly vital roles in the U.S. military—nd expose it to new dangers from skilled information warriors trained by other nations—the U.S. needs a new type of 21st century soldier.
Apparently they are looking for a few good men/women to YouTube?
The Business week story focuses on Internet Threats and digital warfare. I hadn’t really considered this but then again, I don’t think about stuff like this very much.
Apparently, there has been some issues of whether China has conducted cyber-spying.
Anyway, go read Fenley’s story and the rest of it. It’s pretty interesting. I wonder when there will be sign with Uncle Sam saying “We Need Hackers.”
The world is changing.
