Indeed. Fred Piper, likes the "Cyber security" word and as a founder, he can do anything he likes. Vodaphone and GCHQ are closely connected with the MSc course/Centre, and they are up to date as much they can be

A few decent EMP's and the whole world will revert to firing bits of lead at each other.

Re: World War III Will Be Less High-Tech Than Anyone Imagines
A lot of military 3C systems are hardened against EMP, and various equipment such as the Abrams M1.
Biggest worry is the loss of comms/GPS satellites.

Most of a countries infrastructure would collapse: No electricity, no phones or mobiles, no internet or email. No TV or radio. Most transport paralysed including private cars. Most computers / tablets fried. Gas and water cut off.

I worked for a company that worked on anti jamming GPS, so the only way to stop Military use of GPS is take out the GPS satellite.

To be fair that is an understandable worry, map reading is such a chore

Re: World War III Will Be Less High-Tech Than Anyone Imagines
It's more that the military use the GPS for targeting/way finding, and the the comms satellites for, strangely enough, comms.....

Yeah course it is, if they'd been scouts instead of wasting their youth smoking and chasing girls this wouldn't be an issue
