In this episode of the CS2AI Podcast, host Derek Harp dives deep into the evolving threats to national security and critical infrastructure with Mark Montgomery, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Recorded live at the Hack the Capitol 7.0 conference in Washington D.C., this episode sheds light on the increasing cyber vulnerabilities faced by the United States from nation-states like China and Russia, as well as criminal actors exploiting critical infrastructure. Mark shares his extensive experience and expertise, offering insights into how the U.S. government can better prepare and protect itself in the face of modern cyber threats.

Mark discusses the significant mismatch between the capabilities of the Department of Defense and intelligence agencies, and the authorities of civilian federal agencies responsible for protecting sectors like power, water, and transportation. He also highlights the pressing issue of underperforming federal agencies tasked with safeguarding critical infrastructure, and the dire need for a comprehensive, bipartisan approach to cybersecurity legislation. With over 32 years in the U.S. Navy and years of policy work in the federal government, Mark offers a unique perspective on the future of cybersecurity and what needs to change to address these challenges effectively.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is Mark’s call for a more cohesive strategy to defend against cyber threats and protect public safety and economic productivity. Despite the ongoing challenges, there’s a sense of hope as Mark emphasizes the bipartisan nature of cybersecurity solutions and the possibility of enacting meaningful changes. This conversation is essential for anyone involved in cybersecurity, national security, or government policy and provides crucial insights into the future of cyber defense in the United States.
