I have a friend in public sector strategic consulting who says the difference between "infosec" and "wizard" in his materials is 5 speaking engagements and $250K/year.

yeah fwiw my last two projects have had "wizard" in the name and they've been good and i can afford more index funds and a bigger tithe to splc because of it

Indeed, and I know cyber "whatever" has been around forever but I am unaware of when just "cyber" became a term. It's like saying "I like mountain" and forgetting to add "climbing", "biking" or "making GBS threads".

c'mon son

quote:

Even though cyber- had been attaching itself to other words for more than two decades already, the term cyberspace only appeared in 1982, apparently coined by William Gibson in his science fiction novella Burning Chrome. According to its Oxford English Dictionary (OED) entry, cyberspace is the space of virtual reality; the notional environment within which electronic communication (esp. via the Internet) occurs. Although other cyber- formations cropped up, including cyberworld, cyberland, Cyberia (punningly after Siberia), and cybersphere (which is actually attested to earlier than cyberspace), cyberspace remains by far the most popular cyber- term used to refer more broadly to the world of electronic communications (including the Internet), although its popularity peaked in the late 1990s

So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a, it is a huge problem. I have a son.

He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester and certainly cyber is one of them.

i first heard it in a formal (albeit not public) context in like 2010 and giggled because it still meant cybersex to me, and it's been, for want of a better way of putting it, a term of art in the MIC for longer than that.
