Former White House advisor Michael Daniel asserts that U.S. cybersecurity needs to tackle threats from both nation-states, especially China, and rampant cybercrime. While nation-state threats exist, cybercrime, particularly ransomware and business email compromise, poses a greater immediate danger to U.S. businesses. Daniel warns that cuts to federal staffing and resources under the Trump administration are exacerbating the difficulty in combating these threats. He emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity that supports multiple fronts against adversaries.
"And certainly, a country like the United States with the scope and scale of our national interest, our economic interests, our public health and safety - we've got to be able to do the equivalent of walk and chew gum at the same time."
"For a manufacturing or retail company somewhere in the United States, by far, your greatest threat is cybercrime, probably in the form of ransomware, but also in the form of business email compromise."
