In a recent EUCOM blog post, Admiral James Stavridis discusses the challenges presented by what he calls The Cyber Sea - the technological and social space that comprises the web. On the whole, the observations made in the posting, and expounded on in the linked address to The Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, are on point. Stavridis offers an assessment of the cultural changes enabled by technological advancement, the security challenges that have arisen as a result, and the sorts of responses these challenges necessitate. That said, there are some points that bear additional discussion, most notably his tendency to focus on technology itself as the solution to such problems.
