Cybersecurity is essential to modern life. It’s the way we bank, shop, learn, and — increasingly — it’s the way we drive, heat our homes, and even vote. Protecting our digital lives is no longer just about ensuring we don’t lose our family pictures. It’s about protecting our values, our health, our culture, and our democracy.

Wait, Are We Winning?!: Measuring Software Security
For decades, attackers in cyberspace have had more advantages than defenders. Until this balance flips and we are able to measure what winning looks like, cyber risk to software security will continue to escalate.
