Ten Practical Hindrances to Building Cyber Defence
Led By: Colonel Janne Jokinen
Cyber warfare and security, as stated in the name of this conference, is often thought as a technical field and outsourced to nerdy specialists. However, as cyber is a domain of military operations, as it has a global reach within microseconds, and as it potentially devastates lives of civilian populations, cyber warfare must be compared to strategic weapon systems. It is not easy to understand and handle cyber defence strategically, though, nor it is easy to operationalize a fully new domain. This keynote presentation goes through various practical hindrances to building national cyber defence, as observed by the speaker.
