Cyber Threat Intelligence Over the Past 25 Years

“The White House has been trying to get their arms around solutions for 25 years. If you look back at the very earliest White House document (Presidential Decision Directive 63), it came out in 1998. They're focused on critical infrastructure. They say, within five years, most of America’s critical infrastructure will be secure, as if it was a one off as if we could just get it right once, and then it would just be secure. But of course, we have intelligent adversaries, and we keep inventing new technology.” -Jason Healey

Jason Healey, a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University’s School for International and Public Affairs, joins us for this episode of Hack the Plant. We discuss an article he recently published at the Lawfare Institute, looking at 25 years of White House cyber policies, from the Clinton to the Biden Administrations. What changes have we made in our regulatory approach over the past 25 years? What are current strengths - and threats - in our cyber defense systems? Join us to learn more.
