I did a bunch of interviews today and something really stuck with me - being told that a lot of politicians are trying to decide if climate change or infrastructure cybersecurity is more pressing.

Climate change deeply impacts geopolitics and military policy. Therefore it is a cybersecurity issue. The DoD has always understood this. You can’t look at the “APTs” and terrorist orgs we deal with and not consider how climate impacts will continue to motivate them.

Let me give you an example of this, in case you’re trying to make the connection. Climate change causes refugee crises. It also has deep economic impacts, as well as geographic impacts that alter things like shipping lanes. All of those things can predicate conflict. Cyberattacks, both psychological and sabotage - as well as financial cybercrime are a natural outcome.

I’d post this to LinkedIn because it’s important, but I just don’t feel like dealing with the angry deniers today.

@hacks4pancakes It's all about resilience, or rather the lack thereof.
