High Time for Cyberlaw Enforcement and a Future of Work Strategy
 |
Huawei has events where it pulls together key analysts to focus on problems it thinks are critical to the future. At its last event, Huawei spoke about two areas that need considerable work.
One is that we need an international cybersecurity commission with teeth before some country accidentally starts WWIII with a cyberattack. The recent SolarWinds attack was a case in point. Allegedly from Russia, this attack penetrated some of the most secure facilities and could have resulted in a catastrophic failure in infrastructure, potentially resulting in mass loss of life. We got lucky this time and may not be so lucky the next.
Huawei CSO Andy Purdy also spoke about the lack of a comprehensive strategy for the future of work post-COVID-19 coming from any country. The EU did develop one, but it severely lacked in needed detail to be used as a guideline for firms like Huawei to build for the future. I did market and business analysis when I was in IBM, and part of that job was to forecast the future so that future products could meet those anticipated future needs.
I later became aware of Intel's Science Fiction Prototyping effort created by my old friend Brian David Johnson, which the DoD utilized though I'm not sure it survived the last administration.
Let's talk this week about the critical need for centralized cyberlaw enforcement -- and international cyberlaws -- and the need for a clear vision on the future of work. We'll close with my product of the week, a new 40" curved monitor from Dell, which may be the ultimate monitor for those of us who work from home.
