Tech Shield Showdown: US Fires Back at China's Cyber Moves - Get the Inside Scoop on the Latest Defensive Plays!
This is your Tech Shield: US vs China Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and let's dive right into the latest on Tech Shield: US vs China updates. It's been a busy week, and I've got the scoop on what's new and what's next in the world of cyber defenses against Chinese threats.
First off, the US government has been hard at work bolstering its defenses. The FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is packed with provisions aimed at countering China's expanding influence and enhancing US resilience. One key focus is on addressing potential security risks linked to Chinese-origin technology. For instance, Section 1546 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to develop a risk framework assessing the threat of data collection and misuse posed by personal mobile devices and applications, particularly those tied to China and other adversarial nations[1].
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been taking steps to restrict the sale of internet-connected cars manufactured in China, citing national security risks. And, in a move that could have significant implications, the US government has finalized rules to restrict the use of Chinese-made drones in the US, due to potential security risks[2].
But it's not just about government action; industry is also stepping up. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been working closely with critical infrastructure entities to identify and evict Chinese cyber actors. CISA Director, Jen Easterly, has underscored the very real possibility that a crisis in Asia could have serious consequences for the safety and security of American citizens here at home[5].
On the tech front, we've seen some significant vulnerability patches this month. The January Microsoft Patch Tuesday addressed a number of critical vulnerabilities, and organizations are urged to apply these patches ASAP[4]. And, in a nod to emerging defensive technologies, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology has published a national Cybersecurity Framework that provides guidance to US businesses on cybersecurity best practices and ways to identify and address cybersecurity risks.
But, as always, there are gaps. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has issued warnings about the risks associated with using certain Chinese-connected devices, such as drones. And, despite these efforts, Chinese cyber actors continue to pose a significant threat. The "Volt Typhoon" campaign, for example, was a malicious state-sponsored cyber actor connected to the People's Republic of China that repeatedly targeted critical US infrastructure[5].
So, what's the takeaway? The US is making strides in bolstering its cyber defenses against Chinese threats, but there's still work to be done. As CISA Director Jen Easterly noted, it's a cat-and-mouse game, and we need to stay vigilant. That's all for now; stay safe out there, and I'll catch you on the flip side.
