The war Russia has waged on Ukraine has seemed largely kinetic, but the most effective weapons weilded thus far have been consumer technologies. Putin has pursued a hybrid warfare strategy, yet the Ukrainians have fought his mendacious claims with the realities of conflict captured by mobile devices and social media. Bogged down by guerilla fighting in Ukrainian cities, Putin will view offensive cyber action and aggressive information warfare as increasingly appealing options. Richard Clarke, former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection and Counterterrorism, and the nation's first "Cyber Czar," will give us an inside look at what the world has learned about the spillover of warfare in an era of advanced cyber threats.In his latest book, The Fifth Domain: Defending Our Country, Our Companies, and Ourselves in the Age of Cyber Threats, Clarke delves deep into the political and economic calculations of cyber conflict. He also provides concrete steps that can be taken to achieve cyber resilience, during peacetime and amidst international conflict, including building more resistant systems and raising the costs for escalations in cyberspace. About the speaker: Richard A. Clarke served for thirty years in national security policy roles in the US Government, first in the Pentagon, then the State Department, and finally for an unprecedented decade of continuous service for three Presidents in the White House.In the White House National Security Council for President Bush (41), Clinton, and Bush (43) he served as Special Assistant to the President for Global Affairs, National Coordinator for Security and Counter-terrorism ("Terrorism Czar'), and Special Advisor for Cyberspace (the first "Cyber Czar").  Earlier, in the State Department he had been appointed as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Intelligence in the Reagan Administration and was confirmed by the Senate as Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs in the Bush (41) Administration. In the latter capacity, he coordinated elements in support of the First Gulf War. In the Pentagon and the State Department, he participated in a series of multilateral and bilateral nuclear arms control negotiations.Following his government career, Dick Clarke was an on-air analyst for ABC News for fifteen years, taught at the Harvard Kennedy School for five years, lead a security risk management consulting firm (Good Harbor), and served on corporate advisory boards and Boards of Directors, as well as chairing or serving on state and federal advisory boards on cybersecurity (including President Obama's Advisory Group on Technology and Intelligence, the "NSA Review Group").  He is the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Middle East Institute, an eight decade old educational institution based in Washington.

Hello! This episode is Part 2 of my conversation with Andy Marlow and Dick Clarke from Envirotecture. In this episode, we’re talking about Passive House, and specifically discussing the opportunity it provides to protect your indoor air quality. The bushfires and smoke pollution that many areas in Australia suffered from really tested the air filtration capacity of the Passive House system.  We’ll also be talking about the active systems you can use to create better fire protection for your home. And we’ll be talking about Andy and Dick’s other business, Passive House Design and Construct, and what it offers for those wanting to manage budget and sustainability whilst creating a passive house certified home. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, pause this podcast, and head back do that now. We’ll be here when you get back.  Otherwise, let’s dive into Part 2 now. SHOW NOTES: Let me introduce you to Dick Clarke and Andy Marlow from Envirotecture. Dick Clarke is principal of Envirotecture, is an Accredited Building Designer with over 35 years experience, focusing exclusively on ecologically sustainable and culturally appropriate buildings, as well as sustainable design in vehicles and vessels, and has received many Design Awards. Andy Marlow is a Director at Envirotecture, holds both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Architecture, is a certified Passive House Designer and has extensive experience in sustainable design at a variety of scales. Andy is currently a Board Member of the Australian Passive House Association.  And recently, they started a new business, Passivhaus Design and Construct. Frustrated by the big challenge many experience in their new home journey - that is, creating a sustainably designed home that can be delivered on budget, they decided to marry together the design and construction in a total delivery model. You’ll enjoy cost certainty, quality design, an excellent build and a certified passive house… because it’s their passion to make homes that are better for everyone.

This week, we welcome Dick Clarke to discuss his new book, The Fifth Domain, and the need for cyber resilience, especially these days. Significant risks are still manageable, but what are the concrete steps that can be taken toward cyber resilience. In conversations with leading scientists, government officials, and corporate executives, the prevailing consensus is that we are capable of defending ourselves as individuals, as organizations, and as a nation, but that our cyber security remains contingent on the a consensus that it is worth prioritizing.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

400_Dick_Clarke.output by Kevin Turner

Late last year a house designed by Dick Clarke of Envirotecture burnt to the ground in the Gospers Mountain Bushfire.  Dick set about investigating why the house burned, and what can be learned to help rebuild it and other houses in fire-prone areas so that it is less likely to happen again.    

Celebrated building designer, awards judge, vehicle designer, sailor and head of sustainable design firm Envirotecture and also a rural fire fighter, Dick Clarke has spent nearly 40 years designing for and working in the Australian environment. He speaks openly and candidly about the reasons behind the devastation of the recent bushfires across the country, why they happened, how embracing climate science will ensure the severity of any future bushfires will be minimised and how the design community must be at the forefront of changing the way we design and build our homes so that the impact of the next bushfires will hopefully not be anywhere near as catastrophic as these in 2019/2020.For more information, go to: https://www.awsaustralia.com.au/specifyaws/

Listen to the some of the best clips from Future State Season 2. This Bonus episode includes conversations with former members of cabinet, technologists, leading scientists, and other experts at the forefront of technology, politics, and national security. Dick Clarke talks to these experts about Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, defense and diplomacy, cyber security, climate change, human genome engineering, and much more. If you enjoy these clips and would like to hear the full conversation, all of Season 1 and 2 episodes are available online at www.futurestatepodcast.com and wherever you stream your podcasts.

Josh and Kurt talk to the authors of a new book The Fifth Domain. Dick Clarke and Rob Knake join us to discuss the book, cybersecurity, US policy, how we got where we are today and what the future holds for cybersecurity. Show Notes The Fifth Domain Dick Clarke Rob Knake Future State Podcast

This episode, recorded June 23-26 at HFMA's Annual Conference in Orlando, features former HFMA president and CEO Dick Clarke and HFMA UK CEO Mark Knight as well as a sponsored interview with Accumen CEO Jeff Osborne. Also: HFMA's Rich Daly and Chad Mulvany consider Monday's executive order on price transparency. 

Our interview guests are Dick Clarke and Rob Knake, who have just finished their second joint book on cybersecurity, The Fifth Domain. We talk about what they got right and wrong in their original book. There are surprising flashes of optimism from Clarke and Knake about the state of cybersecurity, and the book itself is an up-to-date survey of the policy environment. Best of all, they have the courage to propose actual policy solutions to problems that many others just admire. I disagree with about half of their proposals, so much light and some heat are shed in the interview, which I end by bringing back the McLaughlin Group tradition of rapid-fire questions and an opinionated “you're wrong” whenever the moderator disagrees. C'mon, you know the arguments are really why you listen, so enjoy this one! In the news roundup, Gus Hurwitz covers the Supreme Court's ruling on when a forum is subject to First Amendment limits. Short version: There is no Justice who thinks Silicon Valley's platforms are public fora subject to the First Amendment. Sen. Hawley (R.-Mo.) is mocked, which prompts me to invite him to defend himself on a future episode (not because the First Amendment applies to the podcast but because it would be fun). Matthew Heiman spells out the thinking behind Facebook's proposed cryptocurrency. He thinks it's all about the data; I think it's all about WeChat. Whatever the motive, every regulatory body in Europe and the U.S. has descended on the company to extract concessions—or perhaps to kill it outright, as our own Nick Weaver has proposed. Maury Shenk reports on the U.S. government's threat to limit Indian H-1B visas if India persists in its extreme data localization policies. I suggest that the fight may be as much about terrorism finance as protectionism. This week behind the Silicon Curtain: Apple is considering moving 15-30% of its production capacity out of China. Matthew and I agree that it's easier said than done, but that the move is inevitable. Gus lays out the difficulties that YouTube has had meeting the child protection requirements of the Child Online Privacy Protection Rule and the Federal Trade Commission's growing interest in changing YouTube's approach to videos aimed at kids. Is China's social credit rating system a Potemkin village? Bloomberg seems to think so, but Maury has his doubts. So, if you thought you could stop fearing the system and start laughing at it, better think again.  Finally, this week in karma: The medical billing firm whose cybersecurity failings resulted in multiple medical data breaches has filed for bankruptcy, evidently the result of liabilities arising from the breach.   Download the 269th Episode (mp3).

Dick Clarke and Ambassador Bill Burns discuss the current state of diplomacy, and its seemingly waning stature in the US foreign policy landscape. Bill Burns spent 32 years as a career Foreign Service Officer. He was the man behind every Secretary of State in recent history. Amb. Burns recounts his unparalleled Foreign Service career from his new book The Back Channel, including undertaking secret diplomatic talks with Libyan and Iranian regimes. They talk about the status of chilly diplomatic relations with adversaries like Russia, China and Iran and where these relations could lead when the diplomacy is no longer used as the weapon of First Resort. They also discuss how the foreign policy establishment and institutions like the State Department should be evolving to meet the needs and expectations of the American public.

Dick Clarke and former Under Secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy discuss the near-term and long-term outlook for the United States Department of Defense. With a budget over $700 billion, is the US maintaining military superiority over our adversaries, like Russia and China? Some experts are not convinced. With rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence, unmanned weapons systems, and cyber war, how will Pentagon capabilities and policies change? Is the DoD’s notoriously slow procurement process able to incentivize Silicon Valley companies to produce and field these technologies? What will the future of war look like?

Host Jim Lewis interviews Dick Clarke, who served as a senior advisor in the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, helping to create the first national cybersecurity strategy. He began looking at cybersecurity as a national security issue in the ‘90s and has been central to thinking about cybersecurity for decades. They discuss the awakening of government and industry to cybersecurity threats, the real implications of cyber attacks, and the difficulties of coordinating government efforts.

In the early days of rock—and we’re talking the 1950s here—the most efficient and cost-effective way to put acts on tour was to bundle them together as a package and put them on the road… In some cases, there would be a common backing band for most of all of the artists…PA equipment—such as it was in those days—was often supplied on site… These became known as caravan tours…guys like Alan Freed, the pioneering disc jockey and Dick Clarke—you know him, right?—took all these acts on the road playing places like theatres and county fairs and wherever else they could find a booking… This package tour approach was pretty common until the late 60s when music business was producing artists big enough to tour on their own and play areas and later stadiums…that’s where the real money was…that and big festivals… But then along came Lollapalooza in 1991…Perry Farrell, singer for Jane’s Addiction, put together a multi-act bill to support what would be the last-ever tour for Jane’s Addiction…the net effect was very much like those old caravan tours… That ’91 tour was successful enough for Lollapalooza to try again in 1992…this time, things were expanded across multiple stages and multiple attractions…and for the next couple of years, Lollapalooza was thetouring music festival for the alternative generation… This spawned imitators:  Edgefest…Lilith Fair…Summersault…Another Roadside Attraction…and for a while, it was all pretty cool… Things are different now…Lollapalooza is a static festival held in Chicago ever August…Edgefest, Lilith Fair, Summersault, and Another Roadside Attraction are all defunct… But there was one travelling music festival that survived for 24 years…and it’s been so big that no one knows for sure how many acts have played it… This is the history of the Warped Tour.

Good Harbor chairman and CEO speaks with host Kevin Greene about the impact of Yahoo’s massive data breach and the growing concern of citizen privacy. Clarke shares his insight on what the government needs to do to protect this nation’s voting and election process. Clarke also provides cyber security recommendations that he would like each presidential candidate to address as part of their cyber security strategy.

Dick Clarke is dead...but our show is still alive, proving that if there IS a God, he might be a cruel being. On this episode we discussed a man who interrupted a newscast in a very interesting way, gave out 3 "Dummy Awards" (seriously, these 3 people are dumber than anyone you know x100), talked about Acura getting in some trouble (they had some racial issues arise while trying to cast a commercial), studied a Japanese hermit (we also discussed camping and how well we would do trying to survive all alone on an island - watchout for ass-scorpions!), gave some love to the show Storage Wars, weighed the pros and cons of having sex in the shower (it really is a dangerous act), did some flavored-condom taste-testing (fresh from the wrapper, not on a cock, and not pulled from an orifice), and talked about all of the issues and happenings in regards to the Raymond Taavel murder in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's Background Noise - we welcome everybody! So give us a shot! Even your children and grandparents can listen, if they want to! We don't care...but really that's probably not a good idea. OR IS IT?! Hmmm...no...but yes...but yes no.
