National Cyber Strategy

Listen Later

After lengthy negotiations and revisions, the White House has finally released its National Cybersecurity Strategy document, outlining it’s priorities and goals. It’s a wide-ranging and ambitious document consisting of five major areas of focus, or “pillars”. What’s new here? What will it mean for businesses and critical infrastructure? And what does this mean for you and I? Today I’ll cover all of that and more with Josh Corman from I Am the Cavalry and formerly with the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
