Help us Leap Ahead
Readers, we (the Internet Storm Center) were asked to help with a project to find a few game-changing ideas in cyber security. We've been asked to seek ideas from our global readership - that's you - for technology (or non-technical mechanisms which are made possible through technology) which can be deployed over the next decade to change the cyber game into one which the good guys can win. Unlike many research agendas that aim for steady progress in the advancement of science, this project seeks just a few revolutionary ideas with the potential to reshape the landscape. Also different is that the project targets a time horizon of about a decade from now for palpable impact, so along with the new concepts we must also describe the strategy that brings those ideas to fruition. In other words, they are looking for ideas that can be developed quickly and will show results within the next ten years, but they also need a strategy for getting the idea into use. Exploring the problem through a "game-changing" metaphor to stimulate new thinking, they are looking for ideas that change the rules of the game, change the stakes, or change the game board. So we are looking for a couple of candidates for the big idea. Do you have any ideas? If so, send them to us via the contact form and we'll post them here for others to see and discuss. Please keep your idea brief, don't worry about the details for now. Just what is the technology (or non-technical mechanism made possible through technology) that you think might change the game? However, do start thinking about how your idea would be carried out and what roadblocks might prevent it from being deployed. Marcus H.
