> Cyber is pretty clearly defined among the people who use it. Other words are not.

Maybe the people using these terms (ie, people creating a "defence force" for the UK) should be more in touch with... more current lingo?

Sure would give them at least a vague sense of credibility if they called this something more like an internet/network orientated security... force.

On the otherhand, maybe these people having the massive tell of proclaiming "but this is CYBER." is a good thing? We know to dismiss what ever they're suggesting as uninformed and generally a terrible idea.

What is "more current lingo"?

It isn't Internet specific. It isn't just about networking.
