		<description><![CDATA[A recent eWeek article &#8220;Cyber-security Hurts Federal Government Productivity, Survey Says&#8221; clearly demonstrates the significant security issues related to perception and communication.   There seems to be a significant disconnect between what is thought to be needed to perform an agency&#8217;s mission and doing so without compromising computer systems. &#8220;Surveyed federal executives believe that cyber-security [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the deficiencies that came to light in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was the communication failure between competing intelligence agencies.  A report released this past Monday from the Government Accountability Office shows that the same failure to communicate is happening in the cybersecurity arena.  The breakdown in this arena is between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again I find myself liking White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt&#8217;s approach even if I think his position is weakened based on placement, authority, etc.  In a Bill Brenner article today on CSOonline, Schmidt points to the defense against the wide range of threats, including coordinated attacks, to be best lead from the private [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CNN recently broadcast a cyber-attack simulation meant to demonstrate the potential cascading effects of a widespread attack on our nation&#8217;s infrastructure.  The exercise included former federal officials who played the role of key positions in the executive branch to show how the government would respond to the escalating incident.  They even had a flashy headline: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Between 1930 and 1940, France built a massive system  of defenses known as the Maginot Line.  Designed to stop a German invasion, history illustrates its failure.  The 1940 German invasion of France skirted the defensive Maginot Line as they swiftly penetrated through the Ardennes by way of Belgium.  I&#8217;m not a historian and there are [...]]]></description>
