White House Advisory Committee Recommends Ways to Combat Abuse of Domestic Infrastructure

A White House advisory panel, the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, has unanimously approved a draft report with six recommendations to counter cyberattacks on U.S. domestic infrastructure by foreign threat actors. The recommendations include establishing a public-private task force to create a framework for best practices, launching a pilot program to assess privacy-enhancing technologies for threat data sharing, directing the Office of the National Cyber Director to develop a strategy against abuse of domestic infrastructure, creating an operational working group for tactical collaboration, devising a strategy for sharing intelligence on the abuse of virtual resources with international partners, and working with the private sector to update the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, set to expire by the end of September 2025. The report emphasizes the need for a multifaceted strategy to counter abuse of domestic infrastructure and stresses the importance of information sharing and collaboration between the government and industry to understand the scale and scope of such attacks.|
