Why not discuss what Morris should have to do to make good his
'prank'? What do you think that th team'
In today's paper, I noticed that the Pentagon has set up a so called
'Swat team' to respond to security threats on their systems. The
official name is CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team). I was
wondering if such a team could really be that effective?? It seems to
me that the team would only act after a system had been penetrated and
some (if any) damage done. I'm very interested as to whether such a
setup is really worth the expense. Any responses would be greatly
appreciated.
