How likely is the United States to be laid low by a cyberattack? What can you do to protect your company from ransomware or a devastating hack? In this episode of Stratfor's "Pen and Sword" podcast, Fred Burton talks with Robert Knake, co-author of The Fifth Domain: Defending Our Country, Our Companies and Ourselves in the Age of Cyber Threats.
Knake and fellow author Richard A. Clarke acknowledge that cyberspace is the battlefield of the future. Alongside sobering admissions and predictions of U.S. preparedness, the authors argue that there is hope. But individuals, companies and governments must take urgent action to transition to secure systems with encryption and data storage to resist cyberattacks. The book contains a plan for "cyber resilience."
