US can focus on both offensive and defensive cyber, top NSC official says
This Nextgov article explores the U.S. government's evolving cyber strategy, as explained by a senior National Security Council official. The story emphasizes the importance of balancing defensive resilience with offensive capabilities to both protect critical infrastructure and deter adversaries. Talk with Rojoli Services about how a balanced approach to cyber defense can strengthen your organization's readiness.
What is the U.S. approach to cyber defense and offense?
The U.S. aims to adopt a dual approach to cybersecurity, focusing on both offensive and defensive measures. According to Alexei Bulazel, the National Security Council’s senior cybersecurity director, offensive actions are an important tool that will be used when necessary. However, he emphasizes that this should not detract from robust defensive strategies, which are equally essential for protecting critical infrastructure.
How can AI enhance cybersecurity efforts?
Artificial intelligence is being leveraged to accelerate cybersecurity efforts, particularly in scanning, detecting, and mitigating vulnerabilities. For instance, a recent Department of Defense-led competition demonstrated that AI tools could patch code vulnerabilities in an average of just 45 minutes, showcasing the potential for AI to transform the speed and efficiency of cybersecurity responses.
What role does CISA play in U.S. cybersecurity?
CISA is responsible for defending against cyber and physical threats to U.S. critical infrastructure and federal networks. With Sean Plankey nominated to lead the agency, there is an expectation for enhanced focus on defensive cybersecurity measures, ensuring that the nation is well-prepared to handle emerging threats.
