Conclusion

Most often in the news and across the media cycle the adversary is described as the one in the position of power in cyber warfare. While that is not necessarily untrue, the defenders in this space can take back that initiative. But to do that, the defenders must adapt their old archaic approaches to the problem and leverage tools and techniques that beat the enemy at their own game. It is never easy to regain lost ground in a combat space, but by being smart and using force multipliers there is a real possibility to retake the high ground.

In the next chapter, we'll take a look at some new innovations that will help defenders, think about defense strategy and planning, and think about damage mitigation in the event of a successful attack.
