With a variety of high profile breaches like those at Google and Adobe dominating the start of 2010, I wonder what will the rest of the year bring in terms of cyberwar. Who was behind those attacks is not as important as the fact that large companies admit to breaches publicly. Admitting there's a problem is a significant step towards dealing with it. I expect more public disclosures and a wider revelation of the issue. One of the following issues of (IN)SECURE will have cyberwar as a theme, so if you have something to say about it, do let me know. As concerns other content, expect coverage from several global events in the near future. As silver media sponsors, once again weʼll be covering the extensive RSA Conference in San Francisco. After that weʼre heading to InfosecWorld in Orlando and Infosecurity in London. Thatʼs just in the next few months, we have a few more surprises lined up for the rest of the year.
