| Titre | NBlog August 24 - hot potato or mash? |
| Texte |  I'm currently working on a couple of interrelated matters concerning ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 business. One is the possibility of renaming and perhaps re-scoping the committee's work. The other is a study period exploring cybersecurity.They are related because cyber is a hot potato - a bandwagon no less. Some on the committee are raring to disable the brakes and jump aboard.When asked to describe what cybersecurity is, one expert replied "Budget!". That's more than just a cynical retort. Cyber risk, cyber security, cyber threats, cyber attacks, cyber incidents and cyberinsurance are all over the headlines. Several countries have invested in cyber strategies and units. There is money in cyber, so that's a good thing, right?As I've said before, the focus on cyber is problematic for several reasons, not least distinctly different interpretations of the very term, a gaping chasm separating two distinct domains of understanding:In informal use (including most journalists and commentators in the blogophere), cyber means almost anything to do with IT, the Internet in particular. The primary concerns here are everyday hackers and malware (or rather "viruses").In (some?) government and defense circles, cyber alludes to cyberwar, meaning state-sponsored extreme threats exploiting all means possible to compromise an enemy's critical infrastructures, IT systems, comms, economy and society. Compared to the other interpretation, this off-the-scale nastiness requires a fundamentally different approach. Firewalls and antivirus just won't cut it, not by a long chalk. If anything, those everyday hackers and malware are a source of chaff, handy to conceal much more insidious compromises such as APT (Advanced Persistent Threats) and malicious processor hardware/firmware. Authorities stockpiling rather than disclosing vulnerabilities, and building red teams like there's no tomorrow, hints at what's going on right now.As if that's not enough, every man and his dog is either coming up with his own unique definition or ducking the issue by remaining (deliberately?) vague and imprecise. There's little consensus, hence lots of confusion and talking at cross purposes.It is entirely possible that SC 27 might find itself lumbered with the cyber moniker because it's sexy, in which case those diffe |
