As the article plainly states, "cyberspace mashes up 'everything' - ie, 'The interconnectedness of cyberspace breaks down borders and distinctions around which societies and states are organized.'

As I stated in my previous threads, the current client-server model must change; the current network/internet infrastructure must change. Trust has been replaced by anonymity. We must revamp the current paradigm to strike a balance between the freedoms that the internet affords us (e.g., freedom of speech) while being able to demarcate the 'cyberborders' that currently eludes us from distinguishing 'friend' and 'foe'.

At the precipice of cyberwarfare, we must address the insecurity of the current network/internet infrastructure rather than placing our sights to the 'cloud' (ie, cloud computing - geez! talk about less secure) and blaming software.
