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

world has gone slightly insane, and so security matters A LOT and A LITTLE
at the same time.
