Cyber Schmyber

Another reason why anything “cyber” and “info” gets short shrift; seniors can’t be bothered to follow the rules for actual sensitive data much less virtual (where things are far, far worse). Accountability? Don’t bet on it. If this were anyone but an AG they’d be walking an employment tightrope, but if it were virtual almost no one at any rank would sweat it.

Not to brag, but I could have been responsible for helping put away one of the earliest miscreants on a “non-public” system. The bureaucracy didn’t know what to do with such people then and they still don’t despite law, regulation and policy.

Which is why Cyber Command flail is more or less an illusion of knowledge and control; 99% of people want it because of the money. Its why the loss of Gen Cartwright was such a kick in the groin … or maybe not
