Do they have to use the term "cyber"? Sounds like they are old fogeys who are frightened by this new "information superhighway" thing.
Like it or not, it has become part of the lexicon for talking about network and computer security. Trust me, hearing it used non-ironically made me cringe for quite some time, but after 10 years working in the industry on the military side, it actually surprises me more when people don’t know that it is a common use term now.
