GovLoop Insights show

Summary: Our Issue of the Week is one that has been dominant throughout 2011 -- cyber-security. This week I got to sit down for a conversation with Mark Bowden, the author and journalist. You may not know him by name, but you have probably heard of his most famous book, Black Hawk Down. He is just out with a new book: Worm: The First Digital World War and it is about the fight against the Confickr Internet worm and what it tells us about cyber-security. There have been many stories in recent weeks about the challenges facing government cyber-security experts with a skyrocketing number of attacks.
