What does it take to get engineering back into security?
As an engineer, I have been brought up to work with number, physics, and logic. As a control systems engineer, I have brought up to focus on reliability and safety - we want the process to work and not to hurt people. I had a large group of like-minded colleagues that I could call on to discuss these issues in a reasonable technical manner. In general, governments were passive bystanders except for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) when it came to licensing of plant safety. What's more information sharing was a given and occurred at multiple venues. Alas, cyber security shows up.
