    The move on the part of the US military, which began in 1996, to Network-Centric Warfare (NCW), meant the combination of sensor grids, C&C grids, and precision targeting to increase speed to command, and represented a military offset. Along with networking comes exposure to cyber attacks, attacks that will be used in future wars. Now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/There-Will-Be-Cyberwar-Network-Centric/dp/0985460784

    2. Richard Stiennon (@stiennon and @cyberwar), executive editor of SecurityCurrent and founder of IT-Harvest

    Stiennon is a regular commentator on cybersecurity for Forbes. His recent posts have examined the possibility of another leaker at the National Security Agency and have defended former NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander for reportedly charging six to seven figures for his consulting services.

    Stiennon's articulation of what he has called the "IT security mindset" could help bridge a gap between policy-makers and cybersecurity gurus. When several IT commentators lashed out at White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Michael Daniel for recently arguing for a less technical approach to cybersecurity, Stiennon offered a measured response, saying, "It's the role that is at fault here, not Mr. Daniel or anyone else chosen to be the cybersecurity policy coordinator."

    Number 30. Stiennon rocked the security world with his June report that said intrusion-detection systems (IDS) were "a market failure." Rare is the analyst that will tell it like it is about an emerging market, one chock-full of potential new analyst-report customers. His stance powerfully influenced IDS makers - forcing them to address their failings now or risk sales. The "IDS is dead" report, as it is now widely known, was so influential that months after publication, in October, it prompted a roomful of prospective government IDS buyers to invite Stiennon to a face-off with a handful of IDS vendors.
