Security News > 2021 > February > Presidential Cybersecurity and Pelotons

US presidents have long tussled with their security advisers over tech.

Maybe Biden's security agents could isolate his Peloton in a specially shielded room where it couldn't infect other computers, and warn him not to discuss national security in its presence.

Every one of those devices is a potential security risk, and all of those people are potential national security targets.

Internet security is national security - not because the president is personally vulnerable but because we are all part of a single network.

We need minimum security standards for computers of all kinds.

We need transparency laws that give all of us, from the president on down, sufficient information to make our own security trade-offs.
