Cybersecurity response: Not just an IT issue but an emergency preparedness priority
Briefly

Leaders must adopt a broader perspective on cybersecurity, recognizing its potential to disrupt society far beyond IT, akin to natural disasters or physical attacks.
Cybersecurity must be considered an emergency response mission, involving all agency stakeholders, not just an IT issue, to effectively address its widespread impact.

Cyber incidents can create consequences paralleling those of natural disasters, necessitating a mindset shift among leaders to prioritize the societal implications of cyber threats.
