Cybersecurity

Is better defense the answer to the China cyber threat?

While the U.S. and China in September reached a "common understanding" to stem China's ongoing cyber theft of U.S. intellectual property, the deal focused on economic interests – and left unaddressed the onslaught of attacks on the government, many of which are attributed to China.
That may not come as a surprise: Cyber is just one part of the delicate and fraught diplomatic relationship between the U.S. and China. That's one reason why the former director of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command says the government should instead focus on shoring up its cyber defense.
