Challenge—accomplish your mission, even when you’re under cyber attack. We’ve already seen the first Internet wars, and cyberspace is already as much a place of conflict, crime, and banditry as physical space. You face malware, botnets, phishing, pharming, intrusion, insider threats, and zero day attacks. How can you assure your ability to accomplish your mission when it seems impossible to completely secure your network? And the last thing you want is a surprise attack.

Solution—situational understanding, and the right set of tools to act on it. Stay ahead of the threat. Know your mission, know your network, understand your vulnerabilities, predict the threat, and act on it in a timely, granular way. Not everything can be completely secured, but those things that are important can be protected. Analyze the impact of failures in your infrastructure and use that understanding in both network design and cyber response.

The White House Cyber Space Policy Review puts the challenge well "The government needs to integrate competing interests to derive a holistic vision and plan to address the cyber security related issues confronting the United States." The two keys terms are "holistic" and "competing." You cannot protect everything; you cannot perfectly secure a network. You are operating against adversaries that think, plan, learn and react. Your security has to be ahead of the threat. Everyone has a role in cyber security: government, industry, law enforcement, schools, media, and individual citizens.
