| The CEOs of America's leading companies have laid out a strategy to protect U.S. economic and national security from growing global cybersecurity threats. Their plan for developing a more modern, flexible and collaborative approach to protecting America's strategic information assets is detailed in the new Business Roundtable (BRT) report, "Mission Critical: A Public-Private Strategy for Effective Cybersecurity." "Safeguarding America's strategic information systems, most of which are privately owned and operated, is 'mission critical' for U.S. business and government," said Ajay Banga, President & CEO of MasterCard Worldwide. "We need government to do its part by providing the tools only government can provide -- including strategic threat assessments, technical assistance and much more robust public-private information sharing partnerships -- to help businesses effectively counter growing threats." The BRT report offers specific recommendations for how the government and private sector can work together to effectively address the economic and security risks posed by cybersecurity threats and more fully realize the potential of sustained U.S. information technology leadership. Those recommendations include: -- Integrating the full resources of the U.S. government, including defense, intelligence, homeland security, diplomatic, economic and trade assets, to protect the strategic information systems of the United States; -- Avoiding a top-down, prescriptive, check-the-box approach that is poorly matched to a rapidly evolving threat environment and the reality of privately owned and operated information assets; -- Providing U.S. businesses with the tools they need to combat global cybersecurity threats; and -- Strengthening criminal penalties and sentencing for cyber crimes.
