[LINK] Podcast - Joel Brenner on Cyber-threat

[Jan Whitaker]

You guys may know all this, but if you need to 
educate anyone in your organisations about the 
threats, security, efforts going on or not going on, this is accessible.
June 2012
Brenner was the Inspector General at the US National Security Agency (NSA)

The level of Internet crime is staggering, 
according to Joel Brenner. And he is not just 
thinking of personal identity theft or Wikileaks 
breaches. Instead, Brenner reports that United 
States businesses and government agencies are 
under relentless cyber-assaults 24 hours a day 
and they are bleeding military secrets, 
commercial secrets, and technology. Brenner 
admits that he can’t tell us everything he 
learned about cyber-insecurity during his years 
in government service, but his new book reveals 
in chilling detail how insecure we actually are. 
What is a cyber-threat? What can we do – through 
our government and in the private sector – to 
defend against them? What can we not do? Do 
individual citizens have a role to play in promoting cyber-security?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the 
world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
