[LINK] Preventing a Binary Bombing of Darwin

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian National University is holding two free seminars with 
cyber security international experts, this Friday and next Tuesday, in 
Canberra:

* "Strategy and Statecraft in Cyberspace" is being held at the 
Australian National University in Canberra, 12:30pm, 8 November 2013: 
http://nsc.anu.edu.au/news-events/forum-20131108.php

* "Connection, Communication and Conversation: Shaping a Strategic 
Ecology for Cyberspace", at the Australian National University in 
Canberra, 5.45pm,  12 November 2013: 
http://nsc.anu.edu.au/seminars/public-seminars-2013/seminar-20131112.php

The ANU National Security College (NSC) finalizing a new research 
program on "Strategy and Statecraft in Cyberspace".

ps: The invitation for the second seminar refers to a ‘digital Pearl 
Harbor’. But in the Australian context, the appropriate metaphor is a 
"Binary Bombing of Darwin". The question is if Australia is vulnerable 
to a cyber attack on its national information infrastructure which would 
have a similar effect to 19 February 1942, when Japanese aircraft 
attacked Darwin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Darwin
