There has been a lot of discussion recently about threat actors and very public cyber-attacks, including the one against Sony, which many commentators, and the FBI, are now linking to North Korea. The next of our CyberSide Chats focuses on these issues, and how the nature of the threat, including the threat actor, should be considered when thinking about reactions. What is interesting is that there is a new “cyber” term—“cyber vandalism.” This CyberSide Chat covers the differences between Cyber War, Cyber Crime, Cyber Espionage, and Cyber Vandalism, and what we should be thinking about as we look at when and how the private sector will respond. Eric Basu, CEO of Sentek Global recently wrote an article for Forbes on related issues, and it is linked here, and it is definitely thought provoking.
