The Cybersecurity 202: Government can’t fight cyber threats alone, DHS secretary says
to cut ties with foreign companies suspected of spying on behalf of their governments -- even beyond China’s Huawei and the Russian anti-virus company Kaspersky.
DHS issued a directive in 2017 requiring federal agencies to remove Kaspersky from their computer networks. If the department determines that other companies pose a similar spying threat, it won’t hesitate to issue a similar directive banning them — and the department will also “do all we can to encourage the private sector to do the same,” Nielsen said.
“It’s not just U.S. troops and government agents on the front lines anymore,” Nielsen said. “It’s U.S. companies … It’s ordinary Americans. Threat actors are mercilessly targeting everyone’s devices and networks. They are compromising, co-opting, and controlling them. And they are weaponizing our own innovation against us.”PINGED, PATCHED, PWNEDPINGED: The Trump administration wants Congress to boost government-wide cybersecurity spending about 5 percent, from about $16.
