We could even put "Security" in that agency's name. That would surely do the trick. I'm not sure how we can change the government's (executive mostly) mind on this. Right now it thinks more offensive capabilities + more surveillance = cybersecurity. Just like with the War on Terror, they're using "cyber terror" to give themselves even more power, instead of actually solving the problem. Thanks to the Iraq war, the USA set in action what led to the creation of ISIS, and with its war on strong security and encryption, it's making all of us less secure, and therefore more open to cyber attacks. So it's worse than "not having a real solution" to these problems. They are actually exponentially making the situation worse with their "solutions".
