President Barack Obama recently announced that cybersecurity has been elevated to a top management priority for the U.S. government. "In today's world, acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few key strokes on the computer -- a weapon of mass disruption," Obama said in an address late last month.

With the world increasingly going "cyber," how is cybersecurity keeping up? Exponentially more data is stored in the cloud and a plethora of devices, from phones to game consoles to cars, are connecting to the Internet, taking the needs of security far beyond the PC. Are we doing enough or do we need a new approach to security? What needs to happen to protect America's digital infrastructure, the backbone that underpins our economy, military and government?

In future panel discussions I would have each panelist's mic live all the time. Relying on the reaction times of audio technicians cuts back on the free flow of discussion. Just a thought. :-)
