Cyber Documentary and EU Cyber Security Meetings

April 12, 2011

On Wednesday April 13th  I will be in New York to do an extended interview for an hour documentary on cyber security.  The original focus of the documentary was almost completely on IT. I believe at least 10 minutes now will be devoted to control systems. We are making progress!
