Cyber-Security: Military will likely teach the business world how to handle effectively!

I'm just listening to a discussion among federal lawmakers on how to strengthen defenses against cyber attack, especially on computer clouds.

They appear to argue that it's business that has a lot of know-how inform industry regarding the tricks of hackers.

I am led to believe it's just the opposite.  With the young kids in military uniform at the barick computer centers doing what they do best, they are likely coming up with experiments that net usable code to block those who want to hack into business systems for monetary gain--substantial, due the damage they can cause business enterprise databases.

The pointed question that the military is confronted with is, what will lure the youth to play around with the computer in ways that are beneficial to law enforcement and their counterpart in the professional security field.  Specifically, what should they tell those naive kids to do at the computer what will mimic how criminals override the checks and blocks already used in security systems meant to guard against intrusion.

They, the military, probably should make the field of cyber security attractive to recruits--both by salary pay scale as a computer nerd and in offering it as a career field while serving.  Indeed, there must be an urgent need for cyber computer security experts in business, I would imagine.  If so, the military could make a need appealing in their recruiting spiel.

And, if the military is doing all it can to promote this career path, then it might be the prisons that hold a ready reservoir of personnel to aid developing code and programs for blocking entry into the professional business systems.  

The idea I'm advancing is to put to productive use people with plenty of spare time who might be taught how to help in creating code on the computer to stop the theft of informational data on business and military systems.  Not that military recruits and members of the prison population aren't being attracted to spend their time on computers, only that there's need, I am led to believe, for countless more to be directed to spend their free time in a manner that might help society greatly!

Think of all those sailors on ships a-sailing with little to do!
