guest: my understanding is that the democratic national committee said that they didn't feel they needed it. but when asked, the chairman of the democratic national committee said she was unaware of it. a lot of other people seem to be aware of it. the real issue here is that a mistake was made. the john podesta, for example, clicked on the wrong link, which looked very official, provided information that was then used to go in to his email system. those emails were then leaked. cyber this is all about hygiene. this is about creating a culture of privacy and security. that's what we haven't done. this has got to be something that goes from the mailroom to the board room and every organization in the united states, for each person has a sense of ownership, where each person feels they have to be careful. where employee awareness training is a daily event, not something that occurs when people have their orientation and every quarter or every year, it's got to be a constant discussion. bruce schneider said it best. saying that if you think that technology is the solution to your security i
