[LINK] Cyber Threats to Nuclear Weapons

[Tom Worthington]

Dr Andrew Futter, University of Leicester, will speak on "Cyber Threats 
and Nuclear Weapons: New Questions for Command and Control, Security and 
Strategy" at the Australian National University in Canberra, 3pm 11 July

management, thinking and strategy that underpins nuclear weapons. 
Although, in the near future at least, cyber-attacks will not supersede 
nuclear weapons as the ultimate guarantor of national security, the 
tools and capabilities associated with cyber present new problems that 
affect the nuclear weapons enterprise in numerous ways. ..."
