A private think tank is looking for ways the government can make cyberspace more secure. The Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency, a group organized by a Center for Strategic and International Studies, is working on recommendations it can make to the next president. CNET News quotes Marcus Sachs, Verizon's director of national security policy, a former government official, and a commission member, said that stealthy cyber-intrusions were a real threat to the security of today's networks.
"In the transition between the Clinton and Bush presidencies in late 2000, there was no group doing what we're doing now...trying to tee up cybersecurity as an agenda item," Sachs said during a panel discussion at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.
