In the first cybersecurity framework since 2018, the White House has released to the wild its new National Cybersecurity Strategy, articulating a need for public and private partnerships, international collaboration and going on the offensive against threat actors using diverse attack vectors.

Develop a national strategy to strengthen our cyber workforce.

The strategy statement said regulations should be performance based, leveraging existing cybersecurity frameworks, voluntary consent suspended standards and guidance involving the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The announcement on the new cyber strategy said it will "Use all instruments of national power to disrupt and dismantle threat actors whose actions threaten our interests" via diplomatic, information, monetary, financial, intelligence and law enforcement.

"Today a number of federal agencies have independent efforts to address cybercrime related cyber threats. What the strategy is doing is investing further in NCIJTF - the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force - to coordinate these disruption activities more effectively along with investments in further public-private partnerships," he said.

"It's clear that the cyber threat landscape has evolved significantly over recent years with adversaries proving more sophisticated, relentless and brazen. But, so too, has the policy environment in the United States - with new players, new authorities, and new types of missions."
