Snippets from the article:
Cybersecurity Myths:
- Cyber terrorism: it does not exist. There are no – repeat, zero – documented incidents of cyber-terrorism.
- Supply chain exploits: again, there’s simply no evidence that China, or anyone else for that matter, is planting covert code in computer chips or laptops.
- Cybersecurity can be solved: Given our success at solving IP infringement, identity theft, and even physical security, I think it’s safe to say that we will at best manage cybersecurity.
- “No one cares more about civil liberties than Cyber Command and the National Security Agency.” Yes. The NSA would never illegally eavesdrop on U.S. telephone calls and e-mails, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Fourth Amendment.
