  • “Learning about Cybersecurity from an Unnatural World” (http://goo.gl/iCqrS at Computerworld)

    Learning about Cybersecurity from an Unnatural World Radio 4 on Security: Bio, Cyber or otherwise… I was listening to the rerun of File On 4[1] this evening, and a chap from the FBI said something very sensible about Cybersecurity.
