Bardzo miło mi poinformować, że już 26 listopada widzimy się na Oh My Hack! Będę opowiadał o politycznej stronie odpowiedzi na operacje cyber, odstraszaniu, i wszelkich próbach kształtowania zachowań adwersarzy. Jeżeli więc chcecie posłuchać o tym co to ten cały DIMEFIL, albo jak USA zdecydowało się wyjść atakującym naprzeciw to zapraszam serdecznie :)

I really enjoyed this episode of War on the Rocks Net Assessment and I think it is a worthwhile listen even if you are not specifically interested in national security. The issues of hedging assessments to avoid being the one who did not call out threat and that if everything is priority, nothing is are definitely applicable to cyber realm and other security disciplines.
Nice touch emphasizing difficulties of threat assessment was anecdote about a book by Ash Carter and William Perry about US national security issues that mentioned that at the time US had no A-list threats. And apparently that book was published in 2000. Of course I couldn't help but find the book and it is "Preventive Defense: A New Security Strategy for America" published 1 September 2000. It indeed claims that the post-cold war period has been unusually happy and free of A-list threats. But perhaps even more interestingly it does mention threat of catastrophic terrorism, however claims that the threat is terrorists "making a quantum leap" from airline hijackings to nuclear, chemical, biological, and even cyber attacks. Just an another example of how difficult it is to model threats and take into account multitude possible scenarios.

FIRST CTI Conference 2023 in Berlin was an amazing experience and I couldn’t be more honoured to be able to present my work there. The line up of both workshops and presentations was top notch - congrats to all the speakers and I hope my presentation met the bar set by them.

And perhaps more importantly it was great to catch up with old friends and meet new ones :) Looking forward to the next edition already!
