Can public/private partnerships prevent a Cyber Pearl Harbor? [CyberWire-X]

Cybersecurity experts have long warned of a large-scale cyber attack on critical infrastructure, which could have devastating consequences. This threat extends beyond critical infrastructure to systems like GPS devices, which are vulnerable due to their open source origins and lack of security controls. To effectively address this challenge, public and private sectors must cooperate and coordinate efforts. The government can establish guidelines and standards, while private sector partners can implement these standards across industries and drive innovation in security through analytics, AI, and other tools. Experts agree that a "Cyber Pearl Harbor" could be catastrophic, making it essential for both sectors to prioritize cybersecurity.
