Cyber security requires
more than technological
solutions to protect

damage
I
t's nothing we don't already know: cyber threats still hold the
potential to disrupt a wide berth of policy areas from national
security, public health and safety, foreign relations and eco-
nomic stability. Regardless of today's advanced technological
countermeasures, military and government departments still feel
the pain in implementing and maintaining security frameworks,
primarily in instituting strategic planning and timely implemen-
tation of countermeasures. With limited resources, budget and
skills, organizations are often faced with trade-offs and competing
priorities when addressing cyber threats that continually out-pace
legislation.
