I’m surprised we don’t see a modern reinterpretation of security awareness / counter intelligence communication reminders. During the Cold War if the Soviets acquired state of the art semiconductors there would be little chance in them reverse engineering it successfully without a massive investment of further IP theft and CAPEX in the form of a chip fab. Nowadays the vast majority of total R&D is for commercial use(with military application) rather than trickle down commercial use from military R&D in the post WWII environment. An argument could be made that with an increasing proportion of military capability being a combination of Commercial technology “A” mashed up with Commercial technology “B”(with some minor modifications) that the need for security is greater due to accessibility of commercial technology being near ubiquitous. Were the powers that be too paranoid back then, and not paranoid enough now?
