The scale, speed, and sophistication of modern cyberattacks have outstripped what governments can defend alone, driven by expanded attack surfaces, third-party dependencies, industrialized cybercrime, and nation-state activity. A resilient national defense requires rapid public–private collaboration on threat intelligence, secure-by-design AI governance, and coordinated offensive actions to disrupt criminal infrastructure across borders. #OnSolveCodeRED #USTreasury
Keypoints
- Modern attacks exploit multiple surfaces and pivot laterally across endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and identity.
- Third-party vendors and remote support tools significantly broaden the attack surface and risk.
- Private companies now build and operate most critical digital infrastructure, limiting unilateral government control.
- Cybercrime is industrialized and persistent, requiring coordinated disruption of its ecosystem rather than isolated takedowns.
- AI accelerates attack timelines and expands risk, making fast public–private sharing and secure AI practices essential.
