Cyber Threats Yes, But Is It Cyber War?

Last night Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S. and Neustar conducted a fascinating, Oxford style debate on whether the threat of cyber war has been exaggerated. A packed house at the Newseum in Washington, DC heard four cyber heavyweights go toe-to-toe verbally both for and against the proposition that the threat has been exaggerated. The audience size was all the more impressive considering the competition on a very big night in DC’ Stephen Strasberg was making his major league pitching debut, Conan O’Brien was in town and there was also a James Taylor/Carole King concert.
