What Will Go Wrong: A Cyber Warning

 

During an early Future in Review (FiRe) conference, I asked my friend Joi Ito, now head of the MIT Media Lab, what he thought of a certain Japanese prime minister. Without a moment's hesitation, he answered: "BM, or AM?" When I didn't get it, he explained: Before the Motorcade, or After the Motorcade?

 

In the cyber world today, all of the answers that work seem to be "After the Motorcade."

 

Saying that corporations or governments are poor at preventing cyber attacks would be too kind. In general, they just can't do it.
