Abstract
At a key point in the history of cybersecurity operations, it was passively decided that SECOPS is an extension of IT OPS. This session will examine the thesis that SECOPS is an extension of the craft of Law Enforcement and the consequences of building SECOPS on IT models (that were derived from manufacturing models.) Approaches from Law Enforcement that can accelerate and improve SECOPS will be examined. Methods of safely leveraging law enforcement to reduce cyber risk and costs will also be demonstrated.
