There are a group of people who knew construction was underway, a group of people who knew when the wing was closed, a group of people who knew the security patrol for the closed wing, a group of people who could organize a lift, a group of people who knew of the security issues and the window, a group of people who knewthe type of security glass on the cases and it\u2019s shatter capacity, a group of people who knew precisely what to take\u2026 put those circles and more together and you have a sliver of an overlap, a Venn diagram and circles of contacts and connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, delaying security updates is fairly common in government and private sector. Couple that with the majority of funding going to IT security or cyber (ITSEC, COMSEC), and you have an entire set of non-technical security domains forgotten or ignored (PHYSEC, OPSEC, and PERSEC). EMSEC is almost completely overshadowed by cyber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much like in the 40s, we read advisors to the US were suggesting future wars would be primarily in the air (nuclear + air-to-air), and that ground troops would have significantly less importance. After a decade of focussing on air superiority with US strategy and policy shifting to \u201cflexible response.\u201d this led to less attention in the Army and more attention in the Air Force. A few years later, Vietnam war begins, and the US is poorly prepared for a ground force invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International law of armed conflict calls for proportionality, among many other things, so you can\u2019t just go in with nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we are trying to say: don’t just focus on one security domain. You need to focus on all. That\u2019s the premise of the Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now retired General Hyten said it best, \u201cthere is no such thing as war in cyberspace, there is just war.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
