Title: 2012-11-15 Directive 20 - Obama Signs Directive for Military Cybersecurity Opera Post by: Akka on November 16, 2012, 12:38:26 PM http://www.theblaze.com/stories/obama-signs-a-secret-directive-for-military-cybersecurity-operations/
Quote Just as the Senate failed to pass legislation to protect the U.S. electrical grid and other critical industries from cyberattacks, it has emerged that President Barack Obama signed a “secret directive,” as reported by the Washington Post, establishing guidelines for the military to take cybersecurity action on both an offensive and defensive front. ...“What it does, really for the first time, is it explicitly talks about how we will use cyber-operations,” a senior administration official said. “Network defense is what you’re doing inside your own networks. . . . Cyber-operations is stuff outside that space, and recognizing that you could be doing that for what might be called defensive purposes.” Quote “Frankly, the underlying bill is not supported by the business community for all the right reasons,” Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said, according to The Hill. “They’re the ones that are going to be called to comply with the mandates and the regulations, and frankly it’s just not going to give them the protection they need against cyberattacks.” Thoughts?

Use other signalling and management channels for this infrastructure and leave Internet for porn!
