An aircraft carrier is recognizable by most of the world and can be very intimidating if you are potentially on the receiving end of its payload of missiles and aircraft. Similarly, the United States has also conducted joint military exercises with allies and deployed squadrons of combat aircraft at times of stress. These actions can escalate tensions, but can also show strength and resolve during times of diplomatic negotiations. We project our power in the air, on land and in the sea – are there methods we could be using in cyberspace?

I enjoyed participating in Dr. Gary McGraw’s Silver Bullet podcast show #144. Gary has done an excellent job getting really good guests like Bruce Potter, NY Times cyber journalist Nicole Perlroth, Peiter Zatko (a.k.a “mudge) and Jack Daniel on the show and doing good interviews.
