WPAFB could be targeted in cyber attack, expert warns

((Excerpt))

Vikram Sethi, director of the Institute for Defense Studies and Education at Wright State University, believes these attacks will get wider and worse. This summer, the institute introduced training programs to defend against cyber attacks.

“Most people do not realize how bad the situation is,” Sethi said. He doesn’t think business or government is prepared “technically and philosophically” to fight the attacks, especially when the resources of some hackers “far exceed” what is being used to defend against them. “We simply haven’t invested enough, not just in the IT infrastructure, but in people capabilities,” Sethi said.
