Since the Adversary's Weaponry Has Changed, Shouldn't Your Strategy for Cyber Defense?

In 1914, generals sent cavalry charges against machine guns. They weren't short on courage. They were fighting with the last war's doctrine.

Cyber defense is making the same mistake.

Your adversary now runs AI: It scouts, adapts and strikes at machine speed, in parallel process to inflict damage broadly and rapidly.

Your defense still requires evidence: a signature, an alert and a human to triage it. Then it reacts.

Adding AI doesn’t make it a new strategy. 

When the weapon changes, you change the fight. Own the ground the adversary has to cross. Engage at first contact. Deny. Expel.

Your adversary has changed attack completely. You need to change your strategy.  What are you waiting for?
