“We’re not embracing the issue in its totality,” said Larry Clinton, president and CEO of the Internet Security Alliance, at the forum. “Right now, the private sector is in charge of securing critical infrastructure, and the government’s job is compliance.

I wonder who does understand the relationship that needs to develop between public and private sectors in regards to cyber security? It’s a delicate balance between freedom, liberty, national security. I’d like to hear more from people who have ideas about what the public/private relationship should be!
