[Infowarrior] - Operation Cyber Shockwave

[Richard Forno]

(Few of the named partcipants have any direct - or relevant - operational cyber expertise, IMHO......which perhaps explains why the video trailer promoting this event looks like something straight out of Hollywood.  One has to wonder how useful or insightful this drill will be?   -rf)

The Bipartisan Policy Center has created Cyber ShockWave, a simulated cyber attack on our nation. To defend against this attack, a working group of high-ranking former White House, Cabinet and national security officials will come together. Their mission: to advise the President as the nation grapples with this crisis.
