Pentagon’s cybersecurity plans have a Cold War chill

David Ignatius of the Washington Post recently authored an article in which he indicates that the Pentagon's new cybersecurity plan is undergoing its final review.

"Even though it deals with a distinctly 21st-century problem, the strategy has echoes of the Cold War: America's closest allies would be drawn into an early-warning network of collective cybersecurity; private industry would be mobilized in a kind of civil defense against attackers; and military commanders would be given authority to respond automatically to electronic invaders."


"William J. Lynn III, the deputy secretary of defense, explained the new approach, known as "Cyberstrategy 3.0" within the Pentagon, in an interview this week and in an article that appears in the new issue of Foreign Affairs."
