What I am trying to do is map out what I believe cybersecurity should be. Please tell me if I am wrong. Cybersecurity should be under the Department of Defence. The director of cybersecurity should have a position that places him above everything in the country. People should be able to report directly to the NCSC. The centre should be integrated with the private sector, police and defence, and it should be running its own academic programmes and funding academic research on cybersecurity. It should have a staff somewhere north of 400 or 500. I ask Mr. Larkin to comment first, followed by Dr. Scott and Mr. O'Reilly.
