| Security Guru: North Korea Better Prepared For Cyberwar Than US Posted: InfoSec News: Security Guru: North Korea Better Prepared For Cyberwar Than US: http://blogs.forbes.com/velocity/2010/02/25/security-guru-north-korea-better-prepared-for-cyberwar-than-us/ By Andy Greenberg Velocity Forbes.com February 25, 2010 How vulnerable would the U.S. be if a global cyberwar broke out today? Vulnerable enough, according to Richard Clarke, former anti-terrorism czar under Presidents Bush and Clinton, that he rates our odds behind even those of our most Luddite adversary: North Korea. That's because, as Clarke writes in a new book, Cyberwar: The Next National Security Threat And What To Do About It [1], cyberwarfare preparedness isn't just a matter of training a crack team of superhackers. It's also a matter of how porous a nation's cyberborders are. American corporations and government agencies are more integrated into the Internet than their counterparts in North Korea, where most of the country has access to only a tightly controlled Intranet known as Kwangmyong. Clarke says that even China would be better prepared to batten its digital hatches in the event that nations began hitting each other with waves of Internet traffic designed to overwhelm servers offline, as he writes: China can limit cyberspace utilization in a crisis by disconnecting nonessential users. The U.S. cannot...North Korea can sever its limited connection to cyberspace even more easily and effectively than China can. Moreover, North Korea has so few systems dependent upon cyberspace that a major cyber war attack on North Korea would cause almost no damage.
