You know, as a security person, I say all the
time that the greatest threat is internal threat,
not external threat. In my day job, I/we make
surveillance tools to prevent data threat from
materializing, and to quench it if it does anyhow.
I tell clients all day every day that when the
opponent can attack location independently, and
likely without self identification, your only
choice is pre-emption, which requires intell,
which requires surveillance, which requires
listening posts.
And I'm just talking about intellectual property
in the Fortune 1000, not the freaking country.
