alt Hacker NewsThis is an especially good analogy because facing a well-resourced adversary in cybersecurity is like finding out that the enemy brought artillery -- hopefully you weren't relying entirely on obscurity because pretty soon there will be nowhere to hide

Funny analogy, in that when the high caliber shells start raining, most forms of cover won't make a difference. The ones that will, are not something you want to stay behind on days when you're not being actively bombed. In fact, keeping you behind such protections is by itself a military tactic - it lets the enemy roam freely and maneuver around you.
But the basic flaw of this analogy is that it implies you're at war, and your system is always in battle.
