Nyt amerikansk myndighedsinitiativ mod cyber crime

Chefen for amerikanske Homeland Securities holdt for nylig en tale, hvori det blandt andet hed: “The private sector has vital information, we don’t always see unless, they share it with us, and the government has a unique capacity to integrate information about threats, including non-cyber sources, to create the best possible picture to secure all of our networks. When companies share information with us about a major cyber intrusion or a potentially debilitating de- nial of service attack, they can expect us to respond quickly. We will provide as much information as we can about the threat to assist companies in protec- ting their networks and critical information. We will coordinate a quick and unified response from gover- nment experts, including at DHS and the FBI. We will look to determine who the actor is and hold them to account. And, as we respond to attacks, we will bring to bear all of the tools available to us and draw on the full range of government resources to disrupt thre- ats. I want to commend companies that have shown strong leadership by coming forward as soon as they identify breaches and seeking assistance so we can work together and address threats more rapidly— which is good for the company, good for the consu- mer, and good for the government. Across the board, we’re tearing down silos, increasing communication, and developing the flexibility and agility to respond to cyber threats of the 21st century, just as we have done in the counterterrorism world.”
