(Of course, they’re probably disproportionally responsible for the vulnerabilities…) I’m also encouraged that we’ve heard of offensive counter cyber operations from US Cyber Command.

We have just merged our College with two others, forming a new university. The biggest nightmare has been the implementation of IT resources with security being the key driver.
Teaching, communication all severely hampered if you are in any way odd, odd meaning a geek or Mac user or both.
Not just in our College, but across all government bodies after the HSE, the overall management agency running our health services, was ground to a halt by a Russian hacker group seeking a ransom. This was at the height of the pandemic. The jolt given to the state has informed all subsequent developments.
