The problem with government regulation is 1). the one-size fits all idea. It’s impossible to make regulations that are not over broad. 2), A government bureaucracy is slow moving, rule-ridden and without initiative. Coping with a cyber attack is just the opposite. Requires speed, initiative, quick thinking Just the opposite of heavy handed govenrment.
