Is Europe cyber infrastructure ready for a war(-like) situation?
The short answer is no.
Bert Hubert lays is out skillfully in a talk — now transcribed, see link — and the reason we’re not prepared boils down to:
- Politicians being willfully ignorant about technology, hence taking immense risks without realizing it
- Dumbing down our IT sector by outsourcing skills and knowledge to either the US (for the cloud), or Asia (for outsourcing and 5G tech).
Ironically, the best prepared nation west of Moscow and East of New York is Ukraine, battle-hardened by years of cybersecurity conflicts with Russia.
You need 5’ to read this, but if you work in tech — or politics — you must read it.
