Job opportunities
According to a recent news article, "Contractor Seeks ‘Cyber Warriors’ to Help Defend U.S." Raytheon is looking for some good security people. An excellent quote in the article states,
"We’re looking for those individuals who understand the inner workings of computer systems and software, who understand the interaction between hardware and software down to the nitty-gritty," he said. "Not people who’ve specialized in high-level computer languages."
In other words, Raytheon doesn’t need programmers trained in the most modern, efficient techniques, which automate many routine processes, but rather those who know how to get closer to what the computers are actually doing.
This is a good understanding that in order to protect ourselves, we must move away from the attack, to the attacker — Why are they doing this? What is their motive? Is it the psychology of the attacker that we should understand in order to be able to really protect our national interests.
