Juxtapose eliciting a response with the concurrent education gap throughout the United States would be a grave mistake. 10% of companies are capable of ‘beyond defense’, the other 90% rely on human certifications to vet their employees.
Hackers routinely exploit private corporations as an entry point to lucrative private assets or national-security vulnerabilities. The SolarWinds hackers launched attacks from systems run by Microsoft and Amazon. The National Security Agency, which has primary responsibility for protecting cyberspace, is legally barred from monitoring and collecting intelligence from U.S. entities. Tom Burt, Microsoft’s vice president for security, told the Journal in March: “This is a sophisticated actor that apparently took time to research legal authority. It knew that by operating from servers in the United States, it could evade some of the U.S. government’s best threat hunters.”
There’s a problem Will Robinson.
We’re not asking for certifications that allow us to participate with legal frameworks or otherwise. We are requesting inclusion. We have intelligent founding fathers that made reserve militia or the historical ‘minute men.’ The US can be a safer ground by permitting vetted individuals or companies to assist defending the nation, everywhere around the nation.
