• Sommario/riassunto: Cyber security is a constant, and, by all accounts growing, challenge. This report, the second in a multi-phase study on the future of cyber security, reveals perspectives and perceptions from chief information security officers; examines the development of network defense measures-and the countermeasures that attackers create to subvert those measures; and explores the role of software vulnerabilities and inherent weaknesses.
