Is the Cyberterror Threat Credible?

This is a roundtable discussion about Cyberterror.

I got to tell you, you're in for a treat. This is an excellent discussion. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to make any real conclusions, but progress was made.

Any one worried about Cyberterror or terror in general will learn a lot.

Here's the gist of it:

Over our years in security, we've noticed that the top security thinkers treat security not as their job, but as their lifestyle. The best researchers seem to think about IT security constantly. We've also noticed that they express their most provocative opinions and intriguing insights not when pitching a product by day, but when swapping stories over a beer at night.

We wanted to see what would happen if we tried to capture those "stories over beer" insights for our readers. At Black Hat 2005 in Las Vegas last July, we invited some of the speakers we respect most to share a few drinks and swap opinions in a room at Caesar's Palace. We recorded the session (which was rambling, raucous, and sometimes hilarious), then transcribed it. If you've ever wished you could listen like a fly on the wall to leading security researchers in their less guarded moments, we present to you this excerpt from our Security and Beer Roundtable. The topic: Is there a credible threat to national infrastructure from cyberterrorists? We join the discussion, already in progress.
