Cyber War and Software Security

[Gary McGraw <gem () cigital com>]

hi sc-l,

I find it particularly disturbing that offensive cyber war is garnering a majority of the attention of the media while 
security engineering is basically ignored.  I am trying to do my part to inject some talk of software security into the 
mix.  I would love your help.

SearchSecurity just published an article I wrote about cyber war and prudent defense (as opposed to "active defense" 
which is really offense).  If all of this sounds confusing, have a read and see what you think:

I'll be giving a talk on this topic in London on 11/14.  If you are a reader form the UK and would like information on 
that talk, pop me an email.
