Abstract

This paper presents Lally’s Target and Shield model and its implications for Wireless Technologies. The Target and Shield model, which is grounded in Normal Accident Theory and the Theory of High Reliability Organizations provides a framework for examining how IT can be used both as a target of malicious attacks as well as how IT can be used as a shield against such attacks or to mitigate their impact should they occur. Wireless technologies, their vulnerabilities to attack, and their use in preventing further attacks are examined. Suggestions for designing more secure and resilient systems in the future conclude the paper.
