Re: [NNagain] cybersecurity is not a talent problem

Yes, today one can argue that there is a shortage of talent, however Paul's point was that that I s not the first problem to solve, in fact the problem that must be solved first is:

" We're in a hole, here, folks. The first thing we should do is: stop digging.”

... and he is right IMHO!

I disagree.  With a lot, but let's just go with this

Take a look at
  https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The-OPM-Data-Breach-How-the-Government-Jeopardized-Our-National-Security-for-More-than-a-Generation.pdf

on page 9:
  The bottom line.  The longstanding failure of OPM's leadership to
implement basic cyber
hugiene, such as maintaining current authorities to operate and
employing strong multi-factor
authentication,  despite years of warnings from the Inspector General,
represents a failure of
culture and leadershit, not technology.

There is no substitute for talent.
