The White House has launched the U.S. National Cybersecurity strategy for 2023 and beyond.
Private technology companies are expected to take on more responsibilities than ever before.
- According
to the government, cybersecurity is essential for the functioning of
the U.S. economy, its democracy, digital communication system, etc.
- This document has five main pillars:
- The defense of critical infrastructure,
- the disruption and dismantlement of threat actors,
- the push toward reshaping market forces to drive security,
- investing in a resilient future,
- and the creation of international partnerships.
- One
of the biggest changes the document brings is the fact that it
transfers cybersecurity responsibilities from individuals, small
businesses, and local governments to technology firms.
- This decision is being seen as something that favors long-term investments as a balance between existing and future threats.
- Industry experts stated that deciding to put more responsibility on private companies and regulate the industry is right.
