How would you describe the cyber mission?

You can’t sum it up easily, but there are core themes:

1. People matter. That while it’s portrayed as a technical issue, if you want to understand both the threats and the needed responses to them, it’s always about the human side.

2. Incentives and organizations matter. If you want to understand why something is, or more importantly isn’t, happening in cybersecurity, look to the organization people are in — the bureaucracy, the incentives, the trade off, the cost. …

3. History matters. If you want to understand why you’re in this certain situation in cyberspace, go back to the history of how you got there. [And] look to lessons beyond cyberspace.
