And this is why we need better traffic rules for the information highway.

Seriously, when was the last time that someone knowledgeable used the term "cyber?"

Like it or hate it, it's the word that everybody understands. The words "computer" or "digital" or "network" or "data" etc are insufficient. Clearly "computer security" is not the same as "cybersecurity", just as "network security" is different from "cybersecurity".

The Eskimo/Inuit have over 50 words for "snow", in today's world, we will continue to add words to better describe our digital world.

PS - cyber, cyber, cyber, cyber, cyber. Get used to it.
