I’ve been deeply involved in issues of America’s cyberdefense for years. The difference between that work, and what I’m working on this month, is that my current project has me thinking deeply about the totality of the cyberthreat, and what attacks and breaches mean to America as a whole.

So let me cut to the chase. No matter what anyone tells you, no matter what any well-meaning blogger or so-called security “expert” might post, the cyberthreat is real. Very, very real.
