Joining The Blogosphere

Welcome to the launch of “SAIC on Cyber”, SAIC’s first blog, where we will explore the implications of cyberspace in business and our global community. The Internet’s pervasiveness and our deep reliance on it requires a re-evaluation of the strategies and technologies utilized to defend and extend our presence in cyberspace. As an interconnected network of networks (logical, physical, and increasingly social among others), cyberspace comprises an ecosystem that produces what Horst Rittel has termed “wicked problems”. That is, problems in cyberspace generally have incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements where sustained solutions are often difficult to determine because of complex interdependencies. We plan to utilize this blog as a platform to discuss these complex issues, engage the community in problem solving, and offer our insight and perspectives gained through close to four decades of solving challenging problems and integrating complex systems in a variety of disciplines.

I’ll be the curator for this multi-author blog which will give voice to a variety of perspectives on cyber from SAIC’s diverse workforce. We’re teeing up a stable of regular bloggers including executives and cyber community of practice leads; you’ll be introduced to them a few at a time over the next couple weeks. Additionally, many of our distinguished subject matter experts are looking forward to appearing as guest bloggers in the near future. We’re excited to join the blogosphere in discussing the “wicked problem” that is cyber. Comments are turned on, thank you for letting us be part of this vital conversation.

This blog is a clear sign that the definition of "media" is changing before our eyes and that SAIC working hard to keep in step with the fluid times we live in. I look forward to adding this blog to my RSS reader and contributing to the community of Information Assurance/Security (IA/SEC) practitioners.

Nice to see that SAIC has come up with this public facing cybersecurity blog.It's good in the sense when our daily operations or business activites over internet are susceptible to cyber attacks if not secured properly.Moreover, given the rising number of stealth methods of cyber attacks like phishing,vhishing and DNS Spoofing there is the need of hour where industry experts and global business community share their solutions equipped with technologies to counter this growing menace.

This is an exciting time for SAIC, Cyberspace, and the global community as a whole. Joining the blogsphere will undoubtedly open the doors for key issues in cyberspace to be addressed, discussed, as well as exchanged among key players in the Cyber community. Way to go SAIC!

Really good idea to have a dedicated blog on Cyber Security. I look forward to learn and share information at the same time.

Thanks.

The Myth of Cloud Computing
Why the rapid spread of virtual technology is becoming a security risk

Many companies are rushing to cloud computing to solve virtualization and DMZ complexity but they lack the understanding to properly secure systems in a dynamic cloud computing environment.
