Private or Mercenary Armies

In
an age where cyber warfare is more common than the physical
battlefield, it may be necessary for the private sector to stop playing
defense and go on offense, Gen. Michael Hayden said on August 1, 2011.
Hayden, who led the National Security Administration and Central
Intelligence Agency under president George W. Bush, said during a panel
discussion at the Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colo. that the federal
government may not be the sole defender of private sector companies—and
that there is precedent for such action. “We may come to a point where
defense is more actively and aggressively defined even for the private
sector and what is permitted there is something that we would never let
the private sector do in physical space,” he said. “Let me really throw
out a bumper sticker for you: how about a digital Blackwater?” he asked.
“I mean, we have privatized certain defense activities, even in
physical space, and now you have got a new domain in which we donot have
any paths trampled down in the forest in terms of what it is we expect
the government—or will allow the government—to do”. Blackwater is a
private military contractor that has changed its name to Academi after
incidents in Iraq gave them a negative image. If companies decide to
hire forces (hackers) to strike back or conduct recovery operations it
could change the cyberspace battlefield dramatically (Winterfield and
Andress, 2013).
