The government announced it’s new strategy to create a tougher stance in cyberspace. The plan is called The Cybersecurity 202. An article posted on The Washington Post on September 21, 2018 goes through the strategy in detail. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-cybersecurity-202/2018/09/21/the-cybersecurity-202-trump-administration-seeks-to-project-tougher-stance-in-cyberspace-with-new-strategy/5ba3e85d1b326b7c8a8d158a/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.97119231aece

Very intriguing article and in particular to read about the Government’s new strategy the says the administration will use “all instruments of national power” to deter cyberattacks and impose “swift and transparent consequences” against malicious actors. It also calls for a “Cyber Deterrence Initiative” made up of foreign allies to support each other’s responses to major cyberattacks.

Will be interested to see how this new policy will deter potential threats against US corporations both public and private.

Thanks for sharing – this will be interesting to see how much tooth this policy takes. I will be sharing this link with my colleagues.

Thanks for sharing, we do need to take a hard stance, particularly with nation states. Will be interesting if the new strategy is going to drive changes to cyber security regulations. We shall see.

What is really important in this new strategy is the focus of the paper and the extent of the CNI description and coverage. The paper focuses a lot on identifying the vulnerabilities of the CNI and from my perspective the fact that is mentions the maritime sector several times in the document is a great step towards raising awareness in the sector.

Thank you for sharing.

An interesting potential outcome might be the DHS’s investment in acquiring the capability to certify, manage and launch retaliatory cyber attacks and responses.
