Trump calls for more aggressive responses to cyberattacks in long-awaited cyber strategy

Source

The text includes lots of braggadocio — and little detail on actual plans to deter top cyber adversaries, including Russia and China.

The White House on Friday released its long-awaited National Cyber Strategy, laying out in plain terms the Trump administration’s intention to “deploy the full suite of U.S. government defensive and offensive cyber operations” to erode adversary capabilities and “raise the costs for their aggression.”

An accompanying executive order describes how the U.S. plans to more aggressively target transnational cybercrime groups across the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security.

But absent from the text of both documents are direct mentions of China and Russia — Washington’s main cyber foes.
