Proof of Concept: Is the U.S. losing its cyber grip?

In the latest “Proof of Concept,” Michael Daniel of the Cyber Threat Alliance and former Forrester analyst Chase Cunningham joined editors from Information Security Media Group to examine how fractured leadership, shifting responsibilities and declining federal support are eroding U.S. cyber defenses.

…Daniel pointed to the widening gap between known cybersecurity solutions for the government and actual implementation, attributing it to weak political will. “The challenge is not figuring out what technologies to put in place,” he said. “It’s really a matter of the political will and putting the right incentive structures in place to encourage the kind of cybersecurity that we need.”
