There was an interesting article in the LA Times about Obama's order to strengthen cyber security. Intelligence is worried that the attack in Saudi Arabia was a warning that the United States might be next. However, despite the president's desire to strengthen cyber security, Congress hasn't done anything about it as far as passing laws go. Now, the White House has contemplated an executive order that would accomplish what the failed legislation would have. Cyber security is definitely important in this day and age but it seems that people are mostly unaware of just how important it is because it's not something that causes visible devastation or destruction, like traditional weapons. But cyber warfare is becoming a very real thing and people need to be educated on the subject.
