It’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and Marcus is on his couch reading the same paragraph of a business report for the fourth time. He can’t get through it because he’s checked his phone every six minutes for the past two hours. His girlfriend Priya is out with her college friends — she told him this three days ago, sent him the address of the bar, said she’d be home by midnight. She texted him at 9 and at 10. It’s now 11:47 and she hasn’t texted in almost two hours and something in his chest has tightened into a fist that will not open.
He knows this is absurd. He’s 35 years old. He runs a small construction company and manages six employees. He is, by every visible metric, a competent and stable adult. And yet here he is, constructing elaborate explanations for why a woman who loves him hasn’t sent a text in 107 minutes. His phone is on the coffee table facing up so he’ll see the screen light. He has checked it while it was in his pocket three times tonight just from phantom vibration. He has rehearsed two separate versions of a conversation he might have tomorrow — one where she explains the silence perfectly and he understands, and one where she doesn’t, and he finds just the right tone to convey that this is actually not acceptable, delivered in a way that doesn’t make him look desperate, which is to say in a way that hides the exact thing he actually is.
Anxious attachment in men doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t arrive with a clinical label and a treatment plan. It arrives as eleven phone checks in two hours. As a chest that won’t release. As a man who manages people and projects and payroll and cannot manage the three-inch distance between himself and the nearest exit from his own head.
The Mechanism: What Anxious Attachment Actually Is (And Isn’t)
Here’s what it isn’t: weakness, codependence, immaturity, neediness. Those are labels, not explanations. Slapping a label on the pattern does nothing except supply vocabulary to feel bad about, which is the last thing a man running anxious attachment needs. He already has seventeen ways to feel bad about himself and is working on more.
Here’s what it actually is: a set of neural predictions, written early, that the relationship partner is the functional equivalent of an oxygen supply. When the supply seems threatened, the brainstem activates the same cascade it would during actual suffocation. Nobody chooses this. It is not a decision the conscious mind is making. It is a program the nervous system runs, written somewhere between six months and three years old by an experience so early and so non-verbal that no memory of it will ever exist. Only the consequences remain.
Psychiatrist John Bowlby spent three decades building what became attachment theory, and the core finding is deceptively simple: infants develop a working model of relationships based on the reliability of their primary caregiver’s response. Consistent attunement — caregiver shows up, soothes, tunes in — produces secure attachment. The internal blueprint reads: I matter. Help comes when I need it. Love is stable. Intermittent attunement — caregiver is present and warm sometimes, distant and preoccupied other times, with no discernible pattern the child can predict or influence — produces anxious attachment. The internal blueprint reads: Love is real but I cannot trust its continuity. Watch carefully. Never stop watching.
Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation studies in the 1970s watched this happen in real time. Infants separated briefly from their mother and then reunited. Securely attached infants distressed briefly, then settled when mom returned. Anxiously attached infants did something stranger: they couldn’t settle. Mom was right there, holding them. They were still inconsolable — hypervigilant, angry, unable to downregulate even with the attachment figure present. The threat didn’t end when the threat ended. The nervous system had learned that availability was temporary, and it could not take “I’m here now” as a reliable signal. It had stopped trusting “I’m here now.”
That infant’s strategy doesn’t disappear at adulthood. It updates its target. The mother becomes the partner. “She’s here now” doesn’t settle a nervous system that learned it can’t trust that permanence. Marcus reading the same paragraph for the fourth time is not Marcus being irrational. Marcus is running a forty-year-old program on current hardware. The program was rational once, in an environment where love was genuinely unreliable. It’s generating catastrophic false positives in an environment where Priya is just at a bar with her college friends and her phone is probably in her bag.
Neuroscientist Stan Tatkin, whose work on nervous system regulation in couples shaped an entire generation of relationship therapists, frames it this way: anxiously attached people have a nervous system that is perpetually monitoring the threat level of the relationship. They are, in the language of threat assessment, never off duty. Every interaction with the partner is simultaneously an interaction and a scan: are we still okay? Has anything shifted? Am I still wanted? The relationship becomes exhausting to inhabit because it is never just a relationship. It is a relationship plus a full-time surveillance operation running underneath it.
This is the mechanism. Not a character flaw. Not a choice. A surveillance program installed before there were words for it, running on a nervous system with no way to turn it off because it has never been shown that turning it off is safe. The clinically relevant point — and there is significant good news here — is that nervous systems are trainable. The bad news is that nobody tells anxiously attached men this, because the culture has largely decided that anxious attachment in men doesn’t exist, or if it does, it’s a punchline.
The Lie: Everything You’ve Been Told to Do Makes It Worse
- Lie #1: Just be more confident. This is the most popular. The theory is that anxious attachment is a confidence problem — that simply believing oneself high-value would end the phone-checking at midnight. This gets the causation exactly backwards. The anxious activation isn’t happening because of poor self-regard. It’s happening because the nervous system is running a threat response. Confidence is irrelevant to threat responses. Nobody thinks their way out of a hijacked brainstem. Marcus is not lacking confidence. He runs a company. The cells in his amygdala firing the “she’s gone” signal don’t consult his track record as a business owner before they fire.
- Lie #2: Play it cool. Act like you don’t care. This is suppression with marketing. The instruction is to perform security while the internal state remains unsecured, which produces two things: (1) a performance that eventually cracks under pressure, generating behavior far more destabilizing than the honest behavior would have been, and (2) a nervous system now doing the surveillance work AND the suppression work simultaneously, which is exhausting and produces a man who seems fine right up until the moment he very much isn’t. Suppression can run for a while. It cannot run forever. When it breaks, it breaks loud.
- Lie #3: Insecure attachment is permanent, so manage the symptoms. This one comes from a partial reading of the research. The neural pathways from early attachment are durable, yes. They don’t get erased. But researchers like Phillip Shaver at UC Davis and Mario Mikulincer at Bar-Ilan University have documented “earned secure attachment” — people who began with anxious or avoidant patterns and developed functional security through corrective relational experiences and deliberate practice. The pathways don’t disappear, but new pathways get built, and with consistent use, the new pathways become the dominant route. This is neuroplasticity applied to attachment. It is slow. It is real.
- Lie #4: You just need the right partner. The right partner helps. The right partner does not solve the problem any more than the right shoes solve a stress fracture. When an unregulated attachment system enters a new relationship, the system brings itself along. The new partner, whoever she is, eventually becomes the object of the same surveillance. The same protest behaviors emerge. The same anxious-avoidant dynamic assembles itself because, crucially, the anxiously attached man is gravitationally drawn to emotionally unavailable partners — not because he’s self-destructive, but because their intermittent responsiveness is the exact pattern his nervous system was calibrated to read as love. The avoidant partner recreates the original wound with such precision that the anxious man’s nervous system reads it as recognition. That is not compatibility. That is a system finding its familiar dysfunction and calling it home.
This specific lie tends to be the most stubborn one. Take a man we’ll call Dean, two years into a relationship, still convinced the problem had been the previous one — that with someone more available, the checking and the scanning and the hypervigilance would dissolve on their own. He got someone more available. The hypervigilance simply found new targets. What he’d brought into the room hadn’t changed, because the thing that mattered hadn’t changed — the state underneath the behavior, not the behavior itself. The behavior was just the symptom. The suffering was in the nervous system running it.
The Protocol: The Containment Loop for Anxious Attachment in Men
-
Locate and name the activation. Before anything else: find the sensation in the body. Not the story (she hasn’t texted, she might be pulling away, this might be over). The sensation. Tight chest. Stomach drop. Shallowed breathing. Pulse in the throat. Wherever the threat signal lives in the body, find it and describe it — out loud or in writing. “There is tightness in my chest. My breathing is shallow. My attachment system is activated.” This is affect labeling, and it is one of the few interventions with hard neuroscience behind it. Matthew Lieberman’s research at UCLA, published in Psychological Science in 2007, demonstrated that putting feelings into words reduces amygdala activation measurably — the brain’s threat center turns down when the prefrontal cortex is engaged in the act of labeling. This is not suppressing the feeling. It creates the gap between stimulus and response in which a choice can exist. The gap starts at zero. With practice, it grows.
-
Run the exhale protocol. Inhale for four counts. Exhale for eight. Six rounds, two minutes. Not a calming technique in the soft sense. A direct neurological intervention: the extended exhale stimulates the vagus nerve, which activates the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system — the biological brake. It begins clearing the cortisol and adrenaline driving the activation. In the context of anxious attachment, where the sympathetic nervous system is chronically elevated, two minutes of deliberate extended-exhale breathing is the difference between sending the text that gets regretted and not sending it. Do this before reaching for the phone. Before asking the loaded question. Before starting the conversation that’s coming from the wound rather than the adult. Two minutes.
-
Audit the story against the evidence. The activation generates a story. The story is almost always catastrophic and almost always disconnected from available evidence. Write the story down in one sentence: “She hasn’t texted in two hours and she might be losing interest.” Now write the actual evidence: she told him about tonight three days in advance, texted twice already this evening, has shown no behavioral change in the relationship. The story is prediction; the evidence is data. Anxious attachment runs on prediction and ignores data. This step is not about gaslighting oneself into false calm — if the evidence genuinely points to a problem, that gets noted too. But in most activations, the story and the evidence are not in the same neighborhood, and seeing that clearly is more useful than any reassurance the partner could provide, because it comes from within rather than from the external source the attachment system is trying to control.
-
Communicate the need, not the strategy. If after the first three steps the distress is still present and communication with the partner is warranted, lead with the need rather than the strategy. The strategy sounds like: “Why haven’t you texted me?” or “You never think about how this affects me.” The strategy is designed to extract reassurance indirectly, and it generates defensiveness instead of closeness. The need sounds like: “I’ve been feeling anxious tonight and I’d like to hear your voice.” Or, in person: “I noticed I’m feeling disconnected. Can we sit together for a few minutes?” This will feel wrong. Instinct will classify it as too vulnerable, too needy, too exposing. Do it anyway. Research on emotional disclosure in relationships, including Sue Johnson’s work on Emotionally Focused Therapy with hundreds of couples, consistently shows that direct vulnerability — stating the actual internal experience rather than a strategy designed to manage it — produces connection where strategy produces conflict. The anxiously attached man communicates constantly and almost never says what he actually means. The protocol is to say what’s actually meant.
The Containment Loop is not a cure. It is a practice. The first time through, the nervous system will not believe it. The activation will be felt clearly, named, breathed through, the story audited, the need communicated — and the activation will still be there. Do it again. The value accrues over hundreds of repetitions as the nervous system accumulates evidence that the catastrophe did not materialize, that the discomfort was survived without acting on it, that the relationship is still there when the activation passes. That evidence, accumulated gradually, is what slowly rebuilds the threat model. Not insight. Not understanding. Evidence, earned through experience, that becomes a structural feature of the nervous system rather than a thought that has to be consciously summoned each time.
The window of tolerance — Dan Siegel’s term for the range of emotional arousal within which the nervous system can function effectively — widens through exactly this process. Not through avoiding activation, but through surviving it with awareness. Each episode of activation moved through without acting out on the attachment system is a rep. That’s the capacity being built: staying present in discomfort. It is the foundation of emotional intelligence in men and it is built, not born.
The Proof: Anxious Attachment Men: What The Evidence Reveals
In 2003, Phillip Shaver and Mario Mikulincer published a review in Attachment and Human Development surveying decades of research on attachment security as a learnable state. Their conclusion: security is not solely a trait (fixed, innate, stable across all contexts) — it is also a state that can be primed, practiced, and eventually internalized. Adults who entered adulthood with insecure patterns and subsequently experienced consistently responsive relationships — whether with partners, therapists, or close friends — showed measurable shifts in their attachment representations over time. The brain’s threat model for relationships updated based on accumulated relational experience.
The mechanism is called “earned security,” and it shows up in brain imaging. Anxiously attached individuals in threat-activation show elevated activity in the amygdala and insula — threat and interoception centers. After sustained exposure to a consistently available attachment figure (in therapy, in a stable relationship, sometimes even through meditation practice that develops secure internal relationship with the self), the amygdala’s threat response to relationship cues is measurably reduced. Not eliminated. Reduced. The patrol still happens. It just doesn’t generate as many false alarms at the same intensity.
John Gottman’s longitudinal research at the University of Washington gives us the behavioral outcome data. In his studies following couples over years, the men who reported high relationship anxiety at the start of the study were significantly more likely to engage in what Gottman calls “flooding” — physiological overwhelm during conflict that produces the stonewalling, contempt, and defensive shutdown that predict divorce. Specifically, flooding correlates with heart rates above 100 beats per minute during conflict, which makes thoughtful response neurologically impossible. Gottman’s intervention — calling a structured 20-minute timeout the moment physiological flooding begins, with partners separated doing regulated individual activity until heart rate returns below 100 — reduced the flooding-related cascade significantly. Not because the anxious attachment was treated, but because the physiological component was interrupted before it generated the behavioral sequence that destroys relationships. The Containment Loop does the same thing, initiated earlier in the cascade.
Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy, which draws explicitly on attachment theory and has the largest randomized controlled trial evidence base of any couples therapy model, demonstrates 70-73% recovery rates for distressed couples, with gains maintained at two-year follow-up. Her central finding: couples improve not when they fight better but when the attachment dynamic itself is made visible and addressed. When anxiously attached partners learn to say “I need connection” instead of “you never prioritize me,” the avoidant partner’s defensive withdrawal reduces, the emotional climate shifts, and the relationship becomes a source of regulation rather than a source of threat. The data is not subtle.
The intervention is the one most men with anxious attachment resist most: direct, undefended expression of the actual need.
One piece of data that doesn’t get enough attention: the male loneliness epidemic and anxious attachment are not unrelated phenomena. Anxiously attached men who have no close male relationships — no men with whom they can be honest about internal experience — show worse outcomes than anxiously attached men embedded in real social connection. The corrective experience doesn’t have to come from the romantic partner. The nervous system updates on any evidence of reliable connection. Men’s groups, strong male friendships, mentorship relationships — these are not soft extras. They are part of the nervous system’s retraining environment. Men who do this work in isolation plateau. Men who do it in the presence of other men who stay tend to go further.
The Hard Truth: What This Costs You If You Don’t Do the Work
That message accumulates. It doesn’t stay invisible forever.
The unaddressed Containment Loop — the anxious attachment that never gets worked on — doesn’t stay in place. It grows. Not dramatically, not all at once, but consistently in a direction that costs the thing being most protected.
The critical detail is what the research documents about unaddressed anxious attachment in men over time. First: it drives avoidant partners away, which confirms the abandonment fear, which strengthens the attachment system’s threat model, which produces more intense protest behaviors in the next relationship, which drives the next partner away. Not speculation. The documented feedback loop in attachment research, the reason anxiously attached men show, across multiple relationships, the same pattern of escalation and loss. The program generates the evidence that keeps the program running. It is a closed system that reinforces itself with every cycle.
Second: the protest behaviors that seem manageable in the beginning of a relationship — a few extra texts, some jealousy, the occasional withdrawal — compound. What is charming or understandable in year one is suffocating in year three. Contempt, Gottman’s best predictor of divorce, develops when one partner’s unmet needs generate repeated negative behavior that the other partner eventually stops interpreting as need and starts interpreting as character. When Priya stops reading Marcus’s surveillance as anxiety and starts reading it as control, the relationship is in the late stages of structural damage. By that point, the work required is not just individual regulation — it’s repairing what the protest behaviors have already destroyed.
Third: the suppression strategy many men deploy as an alternative to the real work — the one that produces the confident performance over the unsecured internal state — is expensive. Chronic suppression of emotional arousal is correlated with elevated cortisol, accelerated cardiovascular risk, and a narrowed window of tolerance over time. Suppression doesn’t manage the anxiety. It accumulates it in a system not designed for long-term storage. Men who have spent decades “not letting it show” are not calmer than men who addressed it. In many cases they are significantly less calm — and significantly more likely to experience the sudden collapse that looks, from the outside, like it came from nowhere.
The hard truth is this: anxious attachment in men is not primarily a relationship problem. It is a personal problem that expresses itself in relationships. Which means the relationship cannot fix it. The partner cannot fix it. The next relationship cannot fix it. The only path is the specific work that changes the nervous system’s threat model — and that work requires honesty about what’s being carried, in a culture that has very little tolerance for men who admit they’re carrying anything. That honesty is not performance. It is not therapy-speak. It is acknowledging, first to oneself and then selectively to others, that the phone-checking is not about Priya. It is about a nervous system that learned, before it learned anything else, that love leaves without warning and vigilance is the only available protection. That was true once. It is not true now. The gap between what was true then and what is true now is where the actual life lives.
Addressing somatic imprints that distort love, safety, and self-worth is not a detour from becoming a better partner. It is the direct path. Every hour spent in the Containment Loop building the capacity to be present without catastrophizing is an hour invested in the relationship being protected. The work is not about becoming a man who doesn’t feel deeply. It is about becoming a man whose depth is an asset rather than a liability — which requires that the surveillance apparatus be stood down, breath by breath, repetition by repetition, until the nervous system has evidence enough to lower its alert level and let the actual relationship in.
Not the projection. The relationship. The one that’s actually there.

Anxious Attachment Men Q&A: Anxious Attachment in Men
What is anxious attachment in men and how is it different from normal relationship worry?
Anxious attachment in men is a relational pattern rooted in early childhood experiences where love was inconsistently available. Unlike proportional relationship concern — which is triggered by actual relational events and settles when addressed — anxious attachment produces chronic nervous system hyperactivation triggered by normal relationship distance like a delayed text or a partner being absorbed in her own life. Key indicators include: physical symptoms (chest tightness, shallow breathing, elevated heart rate) in response to routine disconnection; reassurance-seeking that relieves distress briefly but doesn’t produce lasting calm; a persistent sense that abandonment is imminent despite contrary evidence; and protest behaviors (excessive contact, score-keeping, jealousy manufacturing, withdrawal) that escalate rather than resolve. The diagnostic signal is disproportionality: the internal response is not matched by external evidence. Normal worry responds to real problems. Anxious attachment treats the absence of immediate reassurance as a real problem regardless of context.
Can anxious attachment in men actually change, or is it permanent?
The neural pathways from early attachment experiences are durable but not immutable. Researchers including Phillip Shaver and Mario Mikulincer have documented “earned secure attachment” — anxiously attached adults who developed functional relational security through sustained corrective experiences: consistently available therapeutic relationships, stable partnerships with secure partners, deliberate nervous system regulation practice. The mechanism is neuroplasticity: new pathways built through new experience become progressively stronger relative to the old ones. The old pathways remain — under sufficient stress, they reactivate — but the dominant route shifts. This is not fast work. Most research suggests meaningful measurable change requires months to years of consistent practice and corrective relational experience. What changes is not the sensitivity or emotional depth that anxious attachment also carries — those remain, and when regulated, become genuine relational assets. What changes is the compulsive threat monitoring and the protest behaviors it generates.
Why are men with anxious attachment attracted to emotionally unavailable women?
The anxious-avoidant pairing is one of the most reliably documented patterns in relationship science, and it is driven by neurological recognition rather than conscious choice. The anxiously attached man’s nervous system was calibrated to intermittent responsiveness — the early caregiver was warm sometimes and distant other times, in an unpredictable pattern the child couldn’t influence. That intermittency became the nervous system’s template for love. The avoidant partner, who cycles between warmth and withdrawal, activates exactly that template. The brain reads the pattern as familiar, and familiar registers as right. This is compounded by intermittent reinforcement — unpredictable positive responses produce the strongest behavioral conditioning in psychology, which is why the anxious man pursues the avoidant woman with more intensity than he’d bring to a consistently available partner. Healing requires not just pattern recognition but enough nervous system regulation that consistent availability stops feeling unsettling and starts feeling like the real thing.
What is the Containment Loop and how do I start using it?
The Containment Loop is a four-step protocol for moving through attachment activation without acting it out on a partner: (1) locate the physical sensation and name it aloud (“my attachment system is activated”), drawing on affect labeling research that shows naming an emotional state reduces amygdala response by approximately 50%; (2) run six rounds of extended exhale breathing (inhale four counts, exhale eight) to activate the parasympathetic nervous system via vagal stimulation; (3) audit the story the activation is generating against actual evidence — the story is almost always catastrophic relative to the data; and (4) if communication with the partner is warranted, lead with the need (“I’m feeling anxious and need reassurance we’re okay”) rather than the strategy (“why haven’t you texted”). The loop doesn’t eliminate the activation the first time through. It builds the capacity to tolerate and move through activation without compulsive acting out. That capacity, built through repetition, gradually widens the window of tolerance and updates the nervous system’s threat model.
How does anxious attachment in men affect long-term relationships?
Unaddressed anxious attachment follows a predictable escalation in long-term relationships. Protest behaviors that appear manageable in early partnership — frequent texting, occasional jealousy, some reassurance-seeking — compound as the relationship matures. The partner’s initial empathy eventually shifts to pattern recognition: she stops interpreting the surveillance as anxiety and starts experiencing it as control. Gottman’s research identifies this trajectory as the pathway to contempt, his strongest divorce predictor. Specifically, the four horsemen that predict relationship dissolution — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling — all have direct routes from unaddressed anxious attachment. Protest behaviors generate criticism. Unmet needs generate contempt. Hypervigilance generates defensiveness. Emotional flooding generates stonewalling. Relationships where one or both partners are doing the active regulation work — deploying the Containment Loop, communicating needs directly, building tolerance for normal relational distance — show dramatically different outcomes, with research from Sue Johnson’s EFT model demonstrating 70-73% recovery rates for previously distressed couples.
Should a man with anxious attachment tell his partner about his attachment pattern?
Yes, and specifically: tell her the mechanism, not the history. The mechanism sounds like: “When you go quiet or seem distant, something in my nervous system reads it as a threat and I start monitoring for signs of withdrawal. That monitoring isn’t about you — it’s a pattern I brought into this relationship from a long time before you, and I’m working on it. What I need in those moments is direct contact: a brief reassurance that we’re okay, not because you owe it to me but because it interrupts the threat cascade before my behavior gets weird.” This gives her operational information rather than a therapy narrative. It reframes protest behaviors from character flaws to nervous system responses, which makes them easier for her to engage with rather than be damaged by. It also creates accountability: once she knows what the pattern looks like, it can’t run invisibly, which is useful pressure to do the work rather than coast on the explanation. The disclosure should come after the regulation practice has already started — what’s being done, not just what’s been carried.
Is anxious attachment in men connected to the mother wound?
The mother wound is the most common origin of anxious attachment in men, but “wound” doesn’t require overt harm. The inconsistency that creates anxious attachment can be subtle — a mother who was loving but periodically depressed, present but emotionally preoccupied, warm but unpredictable in ways the child couldn’t map or influence. This inconsistency, not the quality of love overall, is what programs the threat-monitoring response. The father wound compounds this: an emotionally absent or contemptuous father teaches the boy that his attachment needs are shameful, so the need goes underground rather than diminishing. A hidden need cannot be addressed. It finds expression in adult relationships through the disguised protest behaviors described above. Understanding the origin is useful for accuracy — locating the wound correctly — not for constructing an explanation that substitutes for change. The nervous system that needs retraining doesn’t care about the story. It responds to new experience.
FROM THE LIBRARY ›
Marcus texts at 11:52 and she comes home and they’re fine. They’ll be fine for months before the pattern creates enough damage to matter. Or they’ll be fine until the next activation hits at a moment when the tools aren’t there to move through it cleanly, and the protest behavior that follows will be bigger than the one before, because unaddressed patterns don’t plateau. They escalate.
The Containment Loop is not a permanent solution. It is the beginning of a permanent solution. The permanent solution is a nervous system that has accumulated so much evidence of survived disconnection — so many activations moved through without catastrophe, so many moments of “she was unavailable and she came back, and nothing dissolved” — that the threat model gradually updates. That is not fast work. It is not linear work. But it is the actual work, the only work that changes the baseline rather than managing the symptoms from a fixed baseline that keeps generating them.
The man who does this work does not stop feeling. The depth doesn’t leave. What leaves is the compulsion to act on the depth immediately, urgently, in ways that damage the thing being protected. What remains is a man who can feel the pull of the wound and choose, for one more breath, to stay present. To hold without gripping. To love with open hands.
That man — not the one who suppresses, not the one who performs, the one who has genuinely done the regulation work — is someone a partner can actually rest with. Someone whose presence is a resource rather than a demand. Someone who stays not because he’s afraid to leave, but because he’s chosen to be here, from a nervous system that has finally, breath by breath, learned that here is safe. To understand where anxious attachment fits in the broader picture of emotional discipline, and what it takes to build a stable psychological foundation in relationships, the work outlined here connects directly to the core resilience system. Why stability feels foreign when you’ve only known chaos explains the nervous system roots. Polarity and safety in relationships shows what becomes possible once the threat monitoring is regulated. The pieces connect. The work starts here.
