The House voted in favor of ordering the Trump administration to release the classified memorandum that made it easier for the Pentagon to run offense cyber-operations against U.S. adversaries.

The goal is to build a “superior cybersecurity workforce,” one senior Trump administration official said.

The new regime contrasts from previous “Whac-A-Mole” approaches that were confined to the unclassified space, Grant Schneider said.

The success of Cyber Command can be measured in actions taken by other government agencies, according to a top command official.

Suzanne Spaulding says the U.S. government should carefully consider the potential private-sector repercussions of conducting offensive cyber operations.

The White House on Thursday announced a new governmentwide cybersecurity strategy in an effort to raise federal network defenses but also go on the offensive more when U.S. interests are threatened.
