Conclusion: Much like the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, the security industry has a limited number of opportunities to channel enterprise and national attention to cyber incidents.

The lack of local impact was more due to luck, and we cannot count on being that lucky twice. Therefore, IT and cyber security leaders must use the lessons from this experience now to prepare their organisations for a foreseeable future that includes similar incidents.
