<\/a>Albert Einstein is attributed as saying, \u201cWe can\u2019t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nCybersecurity ceased being an information technology-only function years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, cybersecurity is a strategic cultural and policy change that must be led by the CEO and board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a strategic imperative that must be understood and managed across the enterprise: from the C-suites, board, and shareholders, to the rank and file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proactive senior leadership involves clearly understanding the genesis of this threat, and are engaged in building full corporate awareness, developing asymmetrical threat training, and leading execution against the asymmetrical strategies and tactics of our adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaders understand that any new approach must address the fact that risk (financial, reputation, strategic, operational, market, legal, survival, all risk) and modern unprecedented risk are now interconnected and must be addressed as an ecosystem; as their adversaries have done for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must recognize that we now live in an era of uneven, ruthless, state-sponsored global competition. Many executives do not understand the totality of the new forces they are forced to deal with.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
An informed leadership gains the knowledge edge required to participate successfully in the modern uneven global competitive model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All senior leaders must urgently make the shift in how they think about modern global competition and that requires recognition of the new reality, a new planning process, a new operational framework, and decisive execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
