Rafts of capable ‘tech savvy and hardware equipped’ young people are entering the work force and by-pass corporate culture and IT Departments


They see IT a s ‘personal’ and not ‘corporate’ -

They think work and act differently...

They think work and act differently...

work in the old companies and cultures...rather than

They create new fast and innovative companies and operations...


AND they freely move their work from the the corporate world to theirs using Sticks, eMail, DropBox, The Cloud, and ++++

The security implications are obvious but easy to obviate....

...but the practice presents a clear and present danger to companies and organization not up to speed

...they don’t eMail, they TXT and IM !

...they don’t conceal or hide they share !


They represent a new, flexible and capableworkforce - in anyhigh tech, high value economy


Innovation is moving to the edge...

...that is far more available, immediate,

capable, and dynamic...

...to become a g loba l l y ne tworked activity...



Problem solving, skills and timely ability are starting to out rank pure academic attainment !


Management attitudes, working and operational practices, will have to change ifcompanies are to compete on

the world stage ...


The biggest worry and the even bigger opportunity ?


There have never been so many threats, attack opportunities... ..and defense weaknesses


And the attck surface has never been as large and

vulnerable


We need to be far more more sophisticated than

relying on firewalls


Peopleare always the

biggestrisk Always !


No Hierarchy

“flat structures give few if any clues”


Cloud Computing - New degrees of freedom !


- No single log-on device- No single log-on location- Variable log-on routine- Distributed applications- Distributed filing system- Parsed and distributed data- Multiple clouds and providers- Dynamic creation of clouds- Dynamic cloud interconnection- Inter-cloud encryption and coding- Corporate strength security for all- Real time global response to all threats

Cloud Computing - New degrees of freedom !


Dynamic addressing is available commercially


The Dark Side’s biggestfriend is the time to:

- detect- affect- repair- repel

The slower our response time the greater the damage and the accumulating threat


We have toreduce theopportunitysurface and time available toThe Dark Sidewe have no choice, we have to take action...

The sophistication of StuxNet and Flame surprised industry and governments ...and they marked the start of a new era...


Fending off such threats

demands more capability

than individual corps can

generally muster


Global cooperation will be required, to develop

solution of military grade +++


The DIYcompanies

will not survive...


Malware is now open code for free or a modest price from multiple sources...

...it is also breeding by the hand of man and by a digital life force we created...

“Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions”

“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it”
