Fascinating story in Computing last week about the creation within the US Air Force of Afcyber - a 30,000 strong 'army' for cyber warfare.
The article goes on to mention that there is no military equivalent in the UK. I find this surprising. I remember attending a lecture by Major General Sir Laurence New who described his role commanding a tank division (or other military grouping - not sure what Major Generals command in the hierarchy of things) in West Germany in the 1980's. Someone asked him what the most important part of his job was and he responded "readiness". He went on to elaborate that with how ever many soviet divisions just across the border, his troops had to be constantly ready to meet the threat.
Do we have the same level of readiness to meet cyber equivalent of the wave of soviet tanks? I'm thinking of theose military comparison maps with numbers of tanks, planes, ships etc - how would we fare in the equivalent cyber warfare resources map?
