Cyberterrorism: New Information Frontier

Jeff Caton

Congratulations to U.S. Army War College colleague Associate Professor Jeff Caton for his invitation to appear with author Mark Bowden (Black Hawk Down) at the Oct. 5 World Affairs Council of Philadelphia forum on cyberterrorism. 




Mark Bowden

Bowden has written a new book, Worm: The First Digital World War (Grove/Atlantic), due out this October. In the book, Bowden explores the dynamic interplay between our hunger for Internet access and the risks associated with viruses, security flaws, personal privacy, network attacks, etc.

Jeff, whose office is next door to mine, is Professor of Cyberspace Operations here at the U.S. Army War College. He served for 28 years as an active-duty Air Force officer and has authored 13 professional publications and many book reviews. He is has gained national recognition as an expert on cyberspace as well as space, missile, and nuclear operations. Jeff and I often debate the merits of social media and other Internet-based forms of communication versus the risks associated with such open communication and personal privacy in cyberspace. The conversation between Jeff and Mark Bowden should be fascinating.
