Starting an International Cybersecurity Conversation

Posted by kdawson on from the let's-talk-you-go-first dept.

crimeandpunishment writes "Every government in the world is dealing with cybercrime, but they're all doing it on their own. In the context of 'cyberwar' saber-rattling on all sides, getting governments to share information is a challenge. But an international security conference this week in Dallas is aimed at doing just that — even if only on an informal basis."

    Your logic is flawed. Your argument is like - OS2 is based on OS1, and OS1 is secure, therefore OS2 is secure. When it comes to security, the valid argument is - If OS2 is based on OS1, and OS2 is secure, then OS1 is secure. This is because the number of bugs in OS2 would be greater than or equal to (but not less than) the number of bugs in OS1. Of course, I'm assuming that bugs are the only mechanism for the emergence of vulnerabilities. But you get the point, right?
