Breaking Analysis: Cyber Warfare – Are We Prepared For Another Stuxnet?

The 2010 Stuxnet attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities proved that anyone with sufficient
know-how in terms of cyber-warfare can inflict some serious physical damage upon any
infrastructure in the world, even without an internet connection.  Retired US Air Force Colonel Phillip Meilinger expects that “[a]… bloodless yet potentially devastating new method of war” is coming.  Yet a lack of understanding about instances of cyber-warfare such as the case with Stuxnet has led to confused expectations about what cyber-attacks can achieve.  Here to discuss what we need to do to educate ourselves about the true implications of cyber-warfare is SiliconAngle Contributing Editor, John Casaretto, who joined Kristin Feledy in this morning’s NewsDesk segment.
