Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora said in a statement, “I commend ONCD Director [Sean] Cairncross and the National Cyber Strategy for the forward-looking approach to tackling critical cybersecurity challenges. Of note, its emphasis on promoting quantum-safe security and AI security positions the United States to maintain technological leadership in an evolving threat landscape.”
“I applaud Director Cairncross for having a clear-eyed vision, particularly a forward-leaning approach towards offensive cyber operations aimed at shaping adversary behavior,” McCrary Institute Director Frank Cilluffo said in a statement. “For too long, we haven’t deterred our enemies.”
With the strategy now public, attention turns to implementation. A document this brief, seven pages covering the entire scope of US cybersecurity policy, is by design a vision statement, not an operational plan.
