Actually, "the whole cyber thing" is even more interesting that that.  At a
recent event  (called - please don't laugh - "World Cyberspace Cooperation
Summit"), I've heard sentiment similar to the following: "'cyber risk
mitigation' is now a board-level priority, [while the infosec is not]" The
world has gone slightly insane, and so security matters A  LOT and A LITTLE
at the same time.
