CONCLUSIONS OF THE WORKSHOP - Cyberwar-Netwar: Security in the Information Age - page 155

Vellone : We had the participation during this workshop of some countries who are
not NATO member countries and I think this is the best way to enlarge the civil
organisation to fight the new threats that we have deeply examined here. I agree that
maybe some technical details have caused more confusion than before. But we have put
the finger on a lot of problems, and this also means that the consultant is still prime and
so there is a new area for consultants.
Erez : I support the idea of continuing such meetings in the same field.
Aharoni : I found the workshop very interesting and I know a lot more now than I did
when I arrived.
Mounie r: I was particularly impressed by the perfect knowledge of the French culture
and language from many of the Portuguese delegation.
Guerra : I come from the management area and I have learned that now management
and military purposes are much less separate than they were previously.
Marques : I think this kind of meeting seems to be the right way to share knowledge
among military, civil and academic organisations in the promotion of security culture and
strategy.
Valente : Thank you for all letting me participate in what was my first interaction with
military and intelligence fields. I have learned a lot.
Amaral : I hope the conference does not end here. I think we are going in the right
direction and we should continue with cooperation, lots of discussion and open-
mindedness.
Policarpo : I too hope that this will not be the only meeting on this issue. And I also
agree that in the future there will be no distinction between the information field,
between military and other business.
Handy : I have a few final words. First of all I was overwhelmed and honoured to be
part of this workshop. Everybody I have spoken to has shared a lot of information and I
am I would say a richer person knowledge-wise as a result of our meeting. And I would
really like to thank the AFCEA Portugal Chapter for inviting me to this interaction. I
was happy to be a part of it. But more importantly, I was overwhelmed with the culture
and the hospitality of Lisbon. I leave you with this thought. As Henry the Navigator
helped us to navigate the seas, I think AFCEA Portugal is helping us to navigate through
cyberspace.
