The United States Government and its various agencies are aggressively focused on improving the resiliency of the nation’s critical infrastructure (CI), IT assets and networks in response to increasing cyberattacks. A new strategic focus and approach to cybersecurity, with a desired end state of layered cyber deterrence, is required to reduce the probability and impact of cyberattacks of significant consequence.
