It won't surprise me if Inglis an "OG" Vmyths reader. Consider this sentence:

"Cyber-professionals and policymakers are too often motivated more by a fear of risk than by an aspiration to realize cyberspace’s full potential..."

He goes on to say 💯 "A durable [cybersecurity] solution must involve moving away from the tendency to charge isolated individuals, small businesses, and local governments with shouldering absurd levels of risk..."

(I say "he" but it's actually @ncdinglis & @HarryKrejsa)

We talk a lot about China & Russia as adversaries -- but I challenge anyone to find any occurrence where *this* observation came from the tongue or quill of any high-placed U.S. gov't official:

They go on to acknowledge in one sentence what I've harped since the mid-2000s:

"It should come as no surprise that many cyberpolicies proceed from a fundamentally negative framing that cedes the initiative to transgressors and places excessive faith in market incentives."

This sentence exposes a faulty cornerstone for our problems at the global level:

"Governments, firms, and citizens alike too often have no authoritative answer to the question of what we owe one another in cyberspace."

This is old news but it's a need I've harped on for years -- and I've got an #FOIA pile to buttress my claims that DoD never took it seriously:

"The Biden administration is setting up a new Cyber Safety Review Board modeled after the National Transportation Safety Board."

Another insight you probably won't find at the highest levels of gov't before today is the observation that things will only change "once the United States reaches an entirely different level of confidence in its cybersecurity underpinnings."

Not "integrity." Not "assurance."
