Trump’s Cyber Strategy: Let Corporations Handle It

President Trump’s National Cybersecurity Strategy is calling on private companies to step up their game in cyberwarfare. It’s a bold move, but don’t expect him to take on China or Russia anytime soon.

The Private Sector to the Rescue?

The document doesn’t mention how exactly the private sector is supposed to take on this new role, but it’s clear the administration thinks they can do a better job than the government. It’s a pretty crazy idea, but hey, it’s not like the government has a great track record with cybersecurity either.

What’s missing from the strategy is any mention of China or Russia, two countries notorious for their cyberattacks. It’s a glaring omission, and one that won’t go unnoticed by critics. Trump’s decision to leave them out is either a clever move or a massive cop-out – it’s hard to say which.
