"Reported Russian hack of US systems has implications for DoD network security plans"

"Jon Bateman, a fellow in the Cyber Policy Initiative at the Carnegie Institute for International Peace, told C4ISRNET that the situation highlighted the limits of cybersecurity.

'You’ve got the leading entities in the world, the U.S government or … FireEye, and then you’ve got the leading hackers in the world, some of them are in Russia. And just given enough time and persistence and effort, the offense can win in huge ways,' said Bateman, who served as special assistant to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford. 'I think that shows us something about the limits of cybersecurity.' "
