When we look at the trajectory of cyberattacks over the past 5 years, we have gone from a relatively low starting point of frequency, complexity and severity of impact. To National Security Agencies openly stating the cyber threat and cyber being a National Security Issue. A conversation that would have been un-heard of 5 years ago. One only has to look at this weeks House Subcommittee hearing on United Health and cybersecurity to be concerned.

Over the same time we have been discussing the adoption of cybersecurity across the public and private sector and the role of the board over cybersecurity risk management. How national security defence relies on cybersecurity, and nation state adoption of cybersecurity regulation. When the board looks at the CISO and asks are we secure, and the answer comes back ‘Yes’, are boards equipped to ask the questions of ‘what, how and why?’

Have we allowed cybersecurity to become a problem. A problem that requires immediate, focused and possibly drastic action to resolve? How do we resolve this situation when your adversary plays a very long game?
