My bad. I thought it would have been clear that I was trying to make the point that it is about more than just protecting against old threats, rather it is primarily about protecting against the new and unknown threats. Protecting against the known is easy. Protecting against the unknown is the tricky part.
I should have clarified it better for the pedantic by inserting "isn't just" in there. Thanks.
