Rebrand Cybersecurity From 'Dr. No' To 'Let's Go'
Security Boulevard, December 9,2025
When it comes to cybersecurity, it often seems the best prevention is to follow a litany of security 'do's' and 'don'ts.' A former colleague once recalled that at one organization where he worked, this approach led to such a long list of guidance that the cybersecurity function was playfully referred to as a famous James Bond villain: Dr. No!
However, when done right, cybersecurity shouldn't be a hurdle to mission outcomes, but rather a trusted enabler to build a more secure and more capable network architecture, allowing organizations to build common operating pictures and accelerate mission outcomes while remaining secure. One of the best examples of cybersecurity as an enabler are Cross Domain Solutions (CDS), an often overlooked but mission critical capability.
