There is something inherently odd about that statement, and intent. As in any area of security, how can you protect against threats you don't know about as effectively as against threats you do know about? Not to say that you can't attempt to protect against the unknown (and you should), but doing it at the same level doesn't seem possible. (Or wise, in terms of cost/benefit analysis and risk management.) > Standardize and optimize network enabled capabilities and services provided > by > DoDs Global Information Grid computer network in support of small units at > the > tactical edge conducting IW. Again, there is something inherently wrong in "standardizing" in order to meet a non-standard threat. > http://www.jfcom.mil/newslink/storyarchive/2009/IWVision.pdf ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ((((DO SOMETHING!)
