What is the role of an InfoSec professional in an environment where advanced threats like this are being deployed? I mean, a beat cop knows when it's time to call the FBI or the military. But the open nature of the Net means that firewall probes by script kiddies are interspersed with intrusions by nation-state actors. It's a weird state of affairs.

If you have company critical secrets or life-safety systems, you need to air gap where possible. That's you're job. You cannot stop or prevent attacks, and if option don't have the metrics and logs, the FBI won't be able to do anything, assuming you can get them to give a shit.
