Is the cyberwarfare arms race for real? Survey of world experts says it is.
A global cyberwarfare arms race is in full swing, a majority of cybersecurity and policy experts surveyed worldwide agrees.
Such a finding may not be entirely surprising given that news reports of such an arms race have been popping up like mushrooms over the past year.
But the 2011-2012 survey – conducted by the Security & Defence Agenda (SDA) of Brussels, a specialist security and defense think-tank, and McAfee, a cybersecurity company – was purportedly of 250 of the world’s top policy wonks in 27 countries, a group presumably less likely to be whipsawed by media reports. If so, it may indicate that the reported rise in nation-state cyberthreats is not just news gatherers run amok.

Yeah why would McAfee, the biggest “cyber security” company in the world, want to fear monger about cyber security? TIS...
