According to Cyber Events Group Chief Operations Officer Jim Jorrie, "The accelerated, global nature of activities in cyberspace presents significant challenges to traditional policy, legal, and operational responses. The rapid movement of activity across political and legal boundaries and the relative ease of hiding and spoofing the origin of those activities provide extraordinary challenges to those responding to cyber security threats."
