Blog: Blackhat USA 2012 - Pushing Past Intrusion Tolerance, Cutting Edge ResearchThe Blackhat 2012 keynote started the event with Shawn Henry, former Executive Assistant Director of the Fbi, painting a grim, seemingly unspeakable picture of cyberespionage in the US. It was interesting that he continually spoke about the gravity of the situation and the need to apply what he learned at the Fbi to protecting digital assets, but he couldn't describe a single concrete example. At the same time, other than a weapon of mass destruction, he claimed that cyber threats are the single biggest problem facing this nation. This inability to convey concrete details during the Blackhat keynote only highlights some of the problem in understanding the cyber problem. And it's the problem of overclassification of computer network exploitation (CNE) incidents and a tangled set of dynamics that silence breach data sharing and exchange for this massive problem.
