«Патриотизм — это не столько восхваление, любование своей Родиной, сколько стремление сделать свое Отечество лучше, не столько правильные слова и рассуждения, сколько правильные дела. Правильные дела каждого на своем месте. Воспитать детей порядочными людьми, дать им образование, подготовить к самостоятельной жизни — это патриотизм», — Евгений Петрович Маслин, член Совета ПИР-Центра, член редколлегии журнала Индекс Безопасности.
«Школа предлагает комплексный и многосторонний подход к изучению проблематики международной безопасности. Я получил колоссальный опыт и знания, а также стимул к личному самообразованию в международных отношениях. Полученные знания однозначно буду адаптировать на предприятии при обучении сотрудников служб безопасности», – заместитель начальника отдела физической защиты и безопасности Института атомной энергии Национального ядерного центра Республики Казахстан Даулет Байсаганов.
«Важно отметить, что атрибуция кибератаки, в конце концов, является политическим решением. Если глава государства решит, «этих доказательств мне достаточно», он примет решение о том, кто несет ответственность за атаку, нравится вам это или нет. И атакующие должны это очень хорошо понимать. Нельзя рассчитывать на то, что атрибуция будет осуществляться только на основании технической оценки с большим количеством «возможно» и «вероятно». Если речь идет о серьезной ситуации, политическое руководство может решить «мне этого достаточно» и начать действовать, это не судебный процесс», – Дэвид Оманд, приглашенный профессор Лондонского Королевского колледжа.
