Under Sec. Lettre: ‘We Must Continue to Seek Help from American Industry’ to Combat Cyber-Attacks

‘As much as we have done, we recognize there is much more to do’

EXCERPT:

LETTRE: "Accordingly the secretary of defense supports the elevation of cyber command to a unified combat and command. And supports ending the dual hat arrangement for the leadership of NSA and cyber command and doing so do a deliberate conditions-based approach while continuing to leverage the shared capabilities and synergies. And finally we must redouble our efforts to deepen partnership between government and the private sector and between the U.S. government and our allies. We must continue to seek help from American industry, the source of much of the world’s greatest technology talent, in innovating to find cyber defense solutions, build resiliency into our critical infrastructure systems and strengthen our deterrents. With our international allies and partners we must work together to promote stability in cyberspace. Universal recognition that existing international law applies in cyberspace and the adoption of voluntary peacetime norms of responsible state behavior."
