I ceded the cyber initiative by not being on twitter! Richard Harknett was an imposter account that I did not know existed. Time to seize the initiative back. That's what Cyber Persistence requires! Thanks to Max Smeets @monica_kaminska JD Work for spreading word.

There have been some truly excellent cybersecurity books published in the last year and I had the pleasure of reviewing five of them for IISS News's Survival: Global Politics and Strategy. Snag a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and crack open a 📕. First 50 copies free tandfonline.com/eprint/SA3VZEZ…

Christmas at the Harknett Household...happy new year to all.

Biden admin releases national cyber strategy. Objective 2.1 rests on the logic of initiative persistence! Achieving security through continuous coordinated operations...disruption campaigns.

How do you mark a paradigm change? When thoughtful people initially tied to the old paradigm, assess new constructs and real empirical evidence and adopt a shift. 39 pages of new us national cyber strategy and not one mention of deterrence! A blair of trumpets seems appropriate.

Real good discussion of new UK NCF primer Shashank Joshi Aligns with initiative persistence. Focus on cyber campaign effects Max Smeets

Is uk doctrine of cognitive effects really about persistent introduction of operational friction both technically and perceptually to seize cyber initiative? Seems good operationalization of NCF in practice.
