Episode Description
Marc Sachs was a Major in the U.S. Army supporting cyber battlefield operations when I first interviewed him for a 2001 Computerworld article about info warriors.
Recently, Marc was instrumental distinguishing between cyber war versus electronic warfare scenarios in book three of my Breaking Backbones Hacker Trilogy, “Chaos to Order.” His infrastructure expertise was also invaluable when describing a cyber attack on three major power grids.
Back in the '90's, “We didn’t quite know what we were doing, there were no rules of engagement … and yes, we had friends on the dark side," Marc says. In our discussions back then, we were predicting cyber battles such as those playing out in Ukraine and Israel. But we hadn't foreseen the arms-race for AI-enabled, autonomous fighting machines.
