White House Stressing Unorthodox in IT Security Fight
White House Stressing Unorthodox in IT Security Fight
Richard Clarke, cybersecurity adviser to the White House, has presented the
possibility that unorthodox approaches may be taken by policy makers to induce
private sector owners and operators of national critical infrastructures to
harden and secure these assets. The administration is considering the idea of
cybersecurity insurance for companies, coverage that would only be available if
the company meets specific security criteria. Additionally, representatives
from Clarke’s office have been considering the development of private sector
certification program for cybersecurity companies. Cybersecurity companies
could be certified to guarantee that there is a certain level of security
expertise and knowledge. Clarke and other members of his office have been
holding town meetings across the country to help foster a dialogue between the
various parties responsible for the national critical infrastructure.
