Active Defense: “We are the Government; We are here to help.” Well, not so much
     Companies persistently attacked cannot rely on the government for help.  Let’s face it, if the government was going to and could help you they would. But like most companies they too are overwhelmed defending against a daily barrage of cyber-attacks.

Accept the loss of proprietary data, intellectual property or trade secrets and consequently millions of dollars and reputation?  At what point should the good guys declare enough is enough?
