   "Dave DeWalt, CEO of security firm Mandiant, a participant in Friday's
   summit, hopes that fear of privacy invasion won't get in the way of the
   work that needs to get done. He pointed to the way the way public
   backlash to government surveillance programs revealed by former NSA
   contractor Edward Snowden stymied previous efforts to effectively open
   the lines of communication.

   "This balance between privacy and security ebbs and flows and
   unfortunately that was a huge setback -- a setback to the tune of
   several years," he said.
   "

   This is the first that I've ever heard of a tradeoff between privacy
   and security in the context of 'cyber security'.
   It's interesting to see this common trope for justifying widespread
   erosion of privacy in meatspace applied to 'cyber', where it is even
   more egregiously wrong.
