Despite repeated warnings of a “digital Pearl Harbor,” advanced economies such as the United States and the European Union are more exposed to cyberattacks than ever. These vulnerabilities can be traced to the spread of new digital technologies, the electrification of transport and heating systems, robotics and artificial intelligence. That ...
The fight over net neutrality continues
Contrary to the predictions of regulatory advocates, transmission speeds have increased and network investment is booming since the repeal of net neutrality rules. Yet proponents are still pursuing neutrality measures in state legislatures. As a result, California, Oregon, Washington and Vermont have adopted net neutrality regulations of their own, setting ...
Cyberwarfare, the privateering of today
Germany’s Ministry of Defence is creating a unified cyberwarfare command, adding what amounts to a fifth service to the four traditional operational areas – land, sea, air and space. Minister Ursula von der Leyen has appointed a physicist and former McKinsey consultant, Katrin Suder, to supervise the process. The reorganisation ...
