You have the same problem if you network all your systems - more info sharing, but more vulnerability. A better indication that the AF is serious is the institutional muscle it's putting behind cyber with a Numbered AF and formal doctrine. Although there's still a looong way to go.

When you "standardize" you make all of your equipment similar so you can keep better control of it. You no longer have Windows 95, 98, Vista, Linux, 2000 and Vista on different machines. You have the same level software across the board. This closes many open doors. Vista isn't perfect, but it is a whole heck of a lot more secure than Windows 98. So, please try to keep your clueless comments to other pro-liberal wingnut sites, and leave this blog for the big boys.

The fact is that our government and military leaders are taking this very seriously, especially the Air Force. According to an Air Force Integrator article, over 100 million has been spent this year alone in beefing up the security on the grid. The Air Force has standardized their over 500,000 workstations and even started up a Cyberspace Operations Executive Course at Maxwell Air Force Base. The government is getting the message, slow but sure, and is taking steps in securing our nation. http://integrator.hanscom.af.mil/2009/June/06042009/06042009-15.htm Daniel Dieterle Guys you can laugh all you want, but this is a real threat.

Your previous post was about the State Department needing to take the lead. Within 2 weeks the following came out today (September 21st, 2009) Brown professor to advise State Department on cyber affairs http://www.physorg.com/wire-news/15004837/brown-professor-to-advise-state-department-on-cyber-affairs.html John Savage, professor of computer science, is Brown's first Jefferson Science Fellow and the first computer scientist to serve in that capacity. He will advise the State Department on cyber affairs. You have their ear and without question you have the insight to chart where things are going in cyber warfare. No wonder Harvard had you lecture. Keep up the great work. Kevin you really rock!!! Your previous post was about the State Department needing to take the lead. Within 2 weeks the following came out today (September 21st, 2009)
