New US Cybersecurity Strategy Targets Cyber Attacks from China

“The strategy also pointed towards China which is considered, “the broadest, most active, and most persistent threat to both government and private sector networks.”

The US unveils a new cybersecurity strategy that puts a huge responsibility on tech giants in preventing cyber crimes and cyber attacks.

The National Cybersecurity Strategy made by The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration in the US put stress on equalizing the responsibility to safeguard cyberspace by “shifting the responsibility for cybersecurity away from local governments, individuals or small businesses and also to the companies that are best fit to minimize risks for all of us.

The strategy also pointed towards China which is considered, “the broadest, most active, and most persistent threat to both government and private sector networks.”

The strategy ensured that we must reorient incentives to support long-term investments by “striking a careful balance between defending ourselves against urgent threats today and simultaneously strategically planning for and investing in a resilient future”.

The US government said by using all instruments of national power, “we will make malicious cyber actors incapable of threatening the national security or public safety of the United States” and track ransomware threats via a complete Federal approach and in “lockstep with our international partners”.

The US will put the responsibility on those organizations in the digital ecosystem which are best placed to minimize risk and move the consequences of poor cybersecurity away from the most feeble “in order to make our digital ecosystem more trustworthy”.

The country has lately been the victim of several nation-state cyber attacks on its industry and government organizations, especially from China-based cyber attacks.

The country “seeks a world where responsible state behavior in cyberspace is expected and reinforced and where irresponsible behavior is isolating and costly”.
