The Economist on Cyberattacks
For many topics, The Economist is my favorite news source. It was really cool to see this story on cyberattacks which quoted four of my favorite security writers all in the same story - Richard Bejtlich, Bruce Schneier, John Robb and Tom Barnett. The reporter picked a good mix because Bejtlich and Schneier come from the digital perspective and Robb and Barnett are more from "physical world" perspective, but the lines are increasingly blurred as the story points out.
Tom Barnett in particular is worth information security people's time to read because so much of the security industry obsesses about threats, but Barnett shows the importance of understanding the economics and system level concerns like resilience.
