Innovation comes in many forms. From gradual evolution or through disruptive processes; as a result of revolutionary thinking or from a confluence of ideas from different entities that share a common goal. Today, we’re seeing more and more innovation blossoming from partnerships among seemingly disparate groups all looking for similar outcomes, whether they concern peace, productivity or profit.
In the area of cybersecurity, there’s now a virtual trade route—a new trading post that spans the technological advances of Silicon Valley, the financial markets of Wall Street and the federal agencies of the Washington, D.C., beltway. This public-private exchange of commerce and intellectual property is responsible for driving innovation across many markets while ensuring key services remain online—regardless of whether those services take the form of a global etailer, an investment bank or a federal agency.
Despite the tremendous development in cybersecurity tools during the past decade, the escalating frequency and complexity of attacks makes real-time security management more complicated and challenging. But nowhere is the gap between risk mitigation and attack sophistication more significant than in the nation’s critical infrastructure, where cyberthreats can be targeted at the fabric of our most critical assets. Federal agencies and their trusted partners need new ways to win the cybersecurity arms race. Global financial institutions and industry leaders quickly are discovering the value of more rigorous and integrated cyberdefenses.
