Late yesterday, the White House issued its new National Cyber Strategy.
Pravin Kothari, CEO at CipherCloud (San Jose, CA):
“The other important change is the notion of going on offense at the national level to protect our government and business entities. Offense may be the best way to deal with advanced cyber attackers based offshore in far-flung international locations. This way, sophisticated defenders can reach out to stop nation-state attackers and organized crime. The average business or municipality has no ability at any level to deal with these threats directly. The government needs to step up and we’re glad to see it happen. All of this aggressive defense must happen in the context of the rule of law and with the cooperation and alignment of our allies. There is no other way forward.”
