And if the events of 2016 say anything, Bossert will likely have a lot on his plate.

Just before the start of the Democratic National Convention, top-secret emails from the Democratic National Committee were published on whistleblower website Wikileaks, in a major operation the FBI attributed to Russian hackers.
Some U.S. officials have raised subsequent questions: Were the hackers deliberately attempting to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump? Did Trump have any influence? And most importantly—if Russian hackers can breach the DNC internal network, what’s to stop them from hacking voting machines?…

Bruce Schneier on How IoT Changes Everything in Security
Listen to the Audio on InfoRiskToday.in
Bruce Schneier, CTO at the security firm Resilient Systems, is busy examining how IoT – the name given to the computerization of everything in our lives – is changing the security world.
From sensors that collect data about our environment to databases in the cloud to analytics that help us make use of data, the Internet of Things is capable of changing our physical world.
“We’re building an internet that senses, thinks and acts, but doesn’t have a body, and that is the textbook definition of a robot,” Schneier says. “What I want to propose is that we’re building a world-sized robot, and we don’t even realize it. While this change has its merits in bringing about enormous changes in social, economic and political environments, this is only going to increase security vulnerabilities,” he says…

Listen to the Audio on SoftwareEngineeringDaily.com
“What we learn again and again is that security is less about what you think of, and more about what you didn’t think of.”
Questions
- In Data and Goliath, what are the motives of different goliaths?
- Why is the Ashley Madison case a watershed moment in security?
- Do you still feel we should break up the NSA?
- Will Google and Amazon become military contractors?

Audio: Cybersecurity: Are We Ever Safe From Hackers?
Listen to the Audio on BBC.co.uk
The number of cyber attacks happening every year is on the rise. We speak to Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer at the IT company Resilient Systems and a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for the Internet and Society, about why it can take months before a company or organisation even realises it is under attack, and why so many are unprepared. Also, Wil van Gemert, deputy director of operations at Europol, tells us what European law enforcers are doing about it. He says it is now possible to buy “malware,” or malicious software meaning that anyone can become a cyber criminal. Carl Leonard, principal security analyst at Websense, says security issues are only going to become more urgent as the internet-of-things develops. Once everyday items such a fridges and cars are connected online, we will become ever more vulnerable…
