Data Security – Montanans see opportunity in troubling technological world

Citing a 1999 thesis on the subject of unrestricted warfare, David Hamon noted the growing realization among U.S. experts that attacking the nation’s financial institutions and critical infrastructure is fair game in cybercombat.

Like a character in a Tom Clancy novel, Hamon went on to say that you can’t fight today’s threats using yesterday’s strategies. The old-fashioned bank stickups are a thing of the past. Today’s criminals, terrorists, anarchists and enemy states will do it over a computer.

"One of the motivating factors for the Chinese isn’t to tear down our system," Hamon said. "That would be self-defeating. For them to deter an American attack, or to gain an advantage, they need to prosecute war in different ways than have been done before."
