Decoding America's Cyber Strategy
In March, the White House released President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, outlining the Administration’s plan to use cyber “offense” to confront persistent threats from international adversaries. Organized around six Pillars of Action, the strategy responds to the growing frequency and severity of cyber incidents by targeting cyber adversaries and encouraging private sector involvement in identifying and countering hostile networks. It also underscores the importance of strengthening the resilience of U.S. cyber infrastructure and removing outdated regulations to promote innovation. At the same time, the strategy raises key questions. What does cyber "offense" truly entail? What challenges is it designed to address, and what new risks might it introduce?
Join us for a discussion exploring the National Cyber Strategy, its legal foundations, and the future of cybersecurity in the United States.
