The article discusses the Trump administration's plans to involve private businesses in offensive cyber operations against foreign adversaries, marking a shift from traditional defensive strategies typically managed by intelligence agencies. A draft national cyber strategy, expected to be released soon, outlines the government's intention to leverage private firms to respond to cyber threats, including ransomware attacks and breaches of critical infrastructure. While this initiative could create new business opportunities for cybersecurity companies, it raises legal and financial risks, as there is currently no legal framework for private entities to conduct offensive cyber operations. The strategy also emphasizes the need for improved data security, modernization of federal systems, and the adoption of advanced cryptographic technologies. [Extracted from the article]
