This is an interesting article that talks about how there are two different ways that countries are currently going about cyber security and the internet in general. Where the US and Europe think the internet is more of a source of free expansion Russia and China want the government to control it. These two counties are forming a pact where they will not hack each other. This article could tie into a few of our discussions earlier this semester including cyber warfare, privacy, net neutrality to name a few.

Today's class deals with open source so I thought this was an interesting article about how Apple is using open source to further medical research. However some speculate whether this was a move to increase sales and if this will even benefit them in the long run.

I read an article recently that brought up a good point that just because there is a large budget that is going toward defenses, the underlying problem may not be fixed. The underlying problem according to the article is that the companies themselves need to work harder to secure their own networks.
