Many in our industry understandably see this emergent capability as overwhelming. It plays strongly into a popular ‘not if but when’ narrative that's increasingly prevalent. In this context, four key themes are likely to emerge: 1.Recognising that private enterprises and individuals don't have the skills, technologies or resources to defend themselves against these enhanced capabilities, governments will step in to protect national assets in cyberspace.2.any businesses will start to accept and expect that their governments take responsibility for national infrastructure defence and policing in the cyber-realm just as they do in the ‘real world’.3.Other businesses, not content with covering the cost of compromises with insurance, will start reaching out to cyber-military contractors.4.Finally, there is another movement apparent in our space that's increasingly playing a leading role and may well buck the trends we're describing above.
