I must take issue with some statements in that Article you posted.
Quote:
"Not a month goes by without a major corporation suffering a cyber attack."
The U.S. Government are hit Millions of times a day according to DHS, This is likely to be true of Major Corporations, especially ones dealing with DOD Contracts.
Similar to if you place a Sugar Cube on the Ground, an Army of ants will go after it even if you surround it with a firewall of Ant Killer.
Quote:
"We should move away from laws that focus on finding companies at fault, rather than as victims of criminal cyber activity. "
The premise of not having Penalties for companies that are breached, is insane. It's Human Nature if there are no penalties, people will not give a damn and continue what they have been doing until they get Hacked.
Quote:
"When a bank suffers a physical robbery, we do not think of blaming and shaming it – even though there is almost always some additional precaution the bank could have taken that might have helped prevent the attack"
The Example of a Bank Robbery is absurde comparing it to Cyber Attacks. It's only money, which is replaced by the bank, or if need be insured by the FDIC as it relates to Your Account upto $250K
When a Cyber Breach happens it's their Customers Private Data that has been stolen and now available on the Dark Web.
In the case of a Large Corporation 500,000,000 Customers or more have been affected.
I do agree that the U.S. Government should take an Active Role in working with Companies if nothing else having a Government Website with the latest and greatest preventive measures.
Just as homeowners pay to have Fire Insurance, or a Termite Protection, Businesses need to have Cyber Security Insurance in case attacked.
Here the first priority is protect yourself first ! Which the government is doing, look no further than A.J. Gallagher/360 which is capitalizing on it. With Cyber Insurance, surveys on what the Companies are already doing for their Gallagher's Customer that are already applying and Mandating (incentive ) of a 60% Discount by using StrikeForce's Products and Technology.
Which not only helps the Customer, but in the number of payouts A.J. Gallagher has to payout on Breaches.
There are Millions of Hackers in the world, and they are after our Money as well as our Identity Information, but by far it is Nation-states that create the greatest threat and most attacks.
Like China trying to steal our IP and the latest Military Weapons Technology, as well as accumulating data on U.S Citizens by using Super Computers that can attack millions more times faster than a human.
Take China which now has the Fastest Super Computer in the world. The TIANHE 2 or Milkyway 2 with a speed of 33.8 PetaFlops.
Stats on it, are in the video below.
Almost Doubling the United States Fastest Super Computer The Titan 2 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. At 17.5 PetaFlops.
And that is just one state-sponsored Hacking Country China.
Is it any wonder DHS reports Millions of attempted Hacks a day.
What China is really doing
I created a Video last week, although YouTube won't host it for Music Copyright Infringement, yet there's no other Music that I would use. As it makes that much of an impact.
.
Worth a watch with some SFOR stuff at the end.
[b ]Caution [/b] if your a Techy and pride yourself on having the latest Fastest PC, Tablet or Cell Phone, you may feel impotent after viewing.
