Tom Temin hosts federal experts on FISMA reform, TIC and other components of the Cyber Initiative, the cyber evils of botnets and spyware...and more. Listen to Federal Security Spotlight, sponsored by Cisco - airing Thursday from 10am to 10:30am.
When cyber hackers attack, should the U.S. retaliate?
December 28, 2009 - 1:17pm
Encore Presentation, Originally aired Nov. 12, 2009 -- Federal Security Spotlight this week talks to Martin Libicki, a senior management scientist at the Rand Corporation and author of a new book, Cyber Deterrence and Cyber War.
While it is certainly tempting to want to hit back and zap the sources of the constant cyber probes and occasional breakthroughs that hit federal and major contractor networks, that might not always be the wisest policy.
Libicki points out that it is difficult to know the other side's vulnerabilities and ability to withstand a counter attack.
And in some cases -- for example, China or Russia with whom the U.S. has deep relationships on other strategic fronts -- counteroffensive might be more costly than just accepting espionage as a fact of life.
