Sony & North Korea: A Call to Cyber Arms or Better Defense?

For the record, I vote for “better defense”.  Much of the IT security community agrees that these attacks against Sony were probably not directly engineered by players in North Korea.  That said, retaliation gets us no closer to a solution.  As I wrote yesterday, this is not a tit for tat situation.  The US must manage this at a much larger and more practical level.  A best first step would be the strengthening of this country’s cyber defense stance followed by a mechanism to encourage the same in all significant business and economic sectors.
