Executive order can provide boost

摘要

For years, law enforcement agencies have requested information from corporate America to help them fight cyber crimes. But, the private sector in turn felt that the flow of information was unidirectional. Many organizations indicated that threat intelligence was not often shared back with them. President Obama's executive order (EO) related to cyber security opens the door for meaningful discussions between federal agencies and the private sector. While the EO specifies security measures aimed at protecting critical infrastructure - which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is working to define - private enterprise should capitalize on the opportunity this EO creates.
