Does Electronic Warfare bring Existential Risks to Nations?
Since the progress, development, and the very future of nations'
survival and security today and in the coming tomorrow depends on
human activities and behavior in cyberspace, geospace and space
(CGS); the big question we all are facing today is; when we are not
able to predict next year's economy, next day‘s stock market, next
cyber breach or next school shooting, how will we predict survival
and security pf nations in a technology dominated world? How will
we predict existential risks to nations?

The Risks of Persuasion
You Persuade All the Time
Please take a moment and think back to the last time you tried to
convince someone to do something that you wanted them to do. It
might have been trying to convince your child to brush her teeth and
put on her pajamas. It might have been trying to convince your co-
worker to go where you wanted for lunch. Perhaps you recently tried
to convince a member of management of the importance of engaging
in a risk identification interview or workshop.
My guess is that each of us can point to multiple times in the last
week where we tried to persuade someone to do something. Not all
of these are high-stakes situations (where jobs or lives are on the
line). Not all of them involve ERM decisions where the fate of a
company or organization hinges on the ability of you persuading a
key stakeholder to engage in robust risk management thinking. But,
all of them can end badly (i.e., you do convince a business leader
about the benefits of proactive risk thinking—a company eventually
fails in response to a persuasive opportunity gone wrong). Luckily,
for us, there is a vast literature on persuasion and how we can all
become better at sharing our ideas with other people.

Ladies, Cybersecurity Needs You!
Today is the International Women‘s Day! So please allow me to say:
―Happy holiday, ladies!‖ Enjoy all the nice messages, flowers, gifts!
You truly deserve them!. Meanwhile, I can not help thinking this
question: ―Why do we have this special day for women only?‖. Why
do we not have something like the International Men‘s Day? After all,
we have both Mother‘s Day and Father‘s Day, right?
I guess the main reason we set up any specific days such as the
International Women‘s Day is to remind us the importance of that
subject. In other words, we still have some challenges in that subject.
