Re: Typically wrong. - Your are on the right path

As noted generally - there is no holistic, regulatory approach to security - and with emergence of IoT and the unplanned evolution of the World-Wide Robot - this can only mean bad things ahead.

As Bruce Schneier has articulated - until we get a government lead agency to regulate cyber efforts, and this ultimately will have to be an international effort, things are looking grim going forward. The current agencies of the government committed to cyber-defense have no interest in advertising the leaks they can exploit to unlock the keys to the corporate castles. Meanwhile, companies making cyber products find security an externality, they don't pay for problems, their customers do. So if we want to move forward there needs to be a consensus on the problem scope and a will to address this proactively instead of reactively - where we inevitably get very bad knee jerk policies. Obviously our rational and thoughtful response to climate change is a harbinger of bad times ahead for cyber defense.
