Ben,

You're right, and that's the whole point of the conference.  You should consider coming next year.  I think you'd be 
particularly interested in the discussions on the Laws of Armed Conflict.

In the meantime, conference content is being discussed on linkedin, with a wonderful summary of the Legal and Policy 
track presentations by Eneken Tikk, in the group Cyber Security Forum Initiative (Law and Policy Division).

Also, the conference materials should eventually be made available on the website at 
http://www.ccdcoe.org/conference2010/

Hi..

Howdy!

Would have considered it slightly off-list-topic, but the current
thread seems to allow it in :>

It's Gary's fault! (we can blame him since he's on vacation:)

My slides from the 2010 Conference on Cyber Conflict are now online at
[http://blog.thinkst.com/2010/06/conference-on-cyber-conflict-slides.html]

An interesting presentation, consistent with others I've seen on the
topic. The problem around the "cyberwar" (or "cyber conflict") stuff is
definitional. We need to be extremely careful using the word "war" as it
tends to have very specific connotations. You also get into issues about
defining what is or isn't "critical infrastructure" and the degree of
direct responsibility the government should own for responding to, or
coordinating response to, a major incident. Putting it in context for
this list, one extreme could say that everything considered "critical
infrastructure" could be subject from direct government oversight,
including requirements for appsec and secure coding, complete with
DoD/comparable testing, C&A, etc. fwiw.
