If the US and Russia had a cyberwar, Russia would win: Cybersecurity CEO

March 17, 2018 by Jonathan Duani 2 Comments

This ia an interesting option article about the CEO of FireEye which is a cybersecurtiy company that makesa bunch of tool for securtiy professionals. He said that if we go into a cyber war with russia with all their cyber resources VS ours, they would win. Which is really scary to think about. It means that securtiy needs to start being a higher imporantance.

    Interesting article. I do agree that this is a bit scary to read. It would have been nice though if Kevin Mandia, FireEye CEO, provided more detail to support his statement. We can all make assumptions on his reasoning behind his comment, but it would have been more beneficial to understand why he believed the U.S. would lose against Russia in a cyber-war.

    This is definitely scary Jonathan for sure. Russia and America anyhow do not have good ties and political standpoint is weak. With the recent Trump election issues, Russia has taken protective stand against cyber-attacks of any kind. However the need of the hour is to have bilateral talks on security of the data on the internet and the limits on breach. Only this can be an approach to a peaceful approach to having a stronger cyber security on both the sides.
