It's refreshing to find it mentioned this year as a debate topic but...we're still waiting for an answer.
In the first presidential debate, since cybersecurity is rarely a topic for political debate, I was surprised when moderator Lester Holt questioned the candidates about cybersecurity strategy. Specifically, Holt asked, “We want to start with a 21st century war happening every day in this country. Our institutions are under cyber-attack, and our secrets are being stolen. So my question is, who’s behind it? And how do we fight it?”
The first couple of sentences of Hillary Clinton’s response sounded as if she was going to establish a position on cyber-attacks, but then she segued into an attack on Donald Trump, and her answer just fell apart. The most coherent part of Clinton’s statement was: “…. We need to make it very clear — whether it’s Russia, China, Iran or anybody else — the United States has much greater capacity. And we are not going to sit idly by and permit state actors to go after our information, our private-sector information or our public-sector information.”
