This time last year, President Barack Obama, delivered the first-ever presidential speech dedicated entirely to cybersecurity. In this speech, he proclaimed that the nation’s digital infrastructure should be considered a “strategic national asset.” The fact that those words were uttered by the President of the United States have cast a new light on the ongoing and pervasive risks that government, business, academic and personal users face in the digital world.

As a Federal CISO, I did not find much value in ISC’s report as their research did not encompass a large number of CISOs and included input from the private sector which of course would skew the findings from a federal perspective. Article was disappointing and lacking in a true perspective.
