Pentagon Tech Chief Points To Big Problem In Protecting Networks (From Forbes)

Some security experts think that cyber attacks could be the biggest “asymmetrical” threat the joint force faces in this decade.

However, as with other threats, much of the vulnerability resides not in what the enemy is doing, but in the way our own defense establishment operates. Pentagon acquisition chief Frank Kendall says a key problem is that the military’s current system for developing new technology can’t keep up with fast-changing cyber threats.
