The key on the cyber battlefield, like on the traditional military battlefield, is understanding, as Sun Tzu
writes, that there will indeed be many battles. And businesses must prepare for those battles by
understanding and quantifying their cyber risk continuously, and constantly monitoring who may attack
them and by what means.
Cyber incidents are widespread; businesses must be proactive, to act as a hunter and not a fisherman
waiting for something to bite the line. They must execute “find evil” operations, have continuous
intelligence activity for threat discovery, and practice their Cyber Response Plan because there will be
many battles.
