Schneier: An International Cyberwar Treaty Is the Only Way to Stem the Threat
- morsch 14y agoSchneier's essay ends with a fairly powerful appeal: Cyberspace threats are real. Military threats might get the publicity, but the criminal threats are both more dangerous and more damaging. Militarizing cyberspace will do more harm than good. The value of a free and open Internet is enormous. Stop cyberwar fear mongering. Ratchet down cyberspace saber rattling. Start negotiations on limiting the militarization of cyberspace and increasing international police cooperation. This won't magically make us safe, but it will make us safer. Note that all the other submissions on the same topic come out against cyber arms treaties for one reason or another.
