"Our capacity to defend ourselves in cyberspace is fundamentally rooted in the need for good intelligence ... There’s a place for static defenses, and in truth a surprising amount of our ability to defend ourselves is just about doing the basics right. But beyond that, if you’re to achieve any real form of resilience, it’s all about what’s going on outside. For states, organizations and individuals, intelligence is fundamental to our ability to keep ourselves safe. Understanding your environment, understanding the threats that are out there, understanding, crucially, the people behind the threats and what their intent is, and understanding the context, the incentives, politics, the geopolitics behind that threat… All those things are necessary if you’re to effectively defend yourself"
