Pentagon Needs Access to Defense Companies’ Networks to Hunt Cyberthreats, Says Commissioner
The Pentagon must be able to hunt cyberthreats on the private networks of defense companies in order to strengthen national cybersecurity, according to Cyberspace Solarium Commission co-chair Representative Mike Gallagher (R-WI). The commission’s report recommended that a threat-hunting program include Department of Defense threat assessment programs on defense industrial base networks; incentives for companies to feed data collected from threat hunting to the DoD and the National Security Agency’s cybersecurity directorate; and coordination of DoD efforts with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
