Developing a Science of Cybersecurity

It took scientists millennia to develop an official system of measurement (i.e. the metric system) for the physical world. We are still at the very beginning of developing a “metric system” for cyber space. We develop methods and tools and analyse data to help stakeholders answer the question how secure is secure enough.
