A thread on what caught my eye from the @WhiteHouse's Fact Sheet on 'Ongoing Public U.S. Efforts to Counter #Ransomware'.

#InThaCybers #CyberDiplomacy
The second paras describe the national security threat posed by ransomware and the global nature of that threat. No surprises here.
Counter-ransomware policy = Multi-stakeholder by design.

The state must work with industry and other states because of inherent technological and economic realities.

Plus, it takes a network to take down a network like a transnational ransomware gang.

Okay so I've had a chance to go through the Cth government's Ransomware Action Plan.

Here's a thread comprising some of my thoughts thereon.

#InThaCybers #Ransomware
I applaud the Cth for finally delivering this document, given the severity of the national security threat posed by the ransomware ecosystem.

A threat which the Minister for Home Affairs, @karenandrewsmp, highlights in her foreword.
The Action Plan rightly acknowledges the nature of counter-ransomware policy as multi-stakeholder by design.

That is, the state working with domestic partners and overseas partners.

Hmm, USA sharing intel with the Indians to help the latter's COIN and CT efforts in Kashmir and ops along the LAC? I dig.

'Enhanced cooperation with like-minded partners' = Wait, they're not going for a clique like others suggest?
Interoperability is already helped by India buying and deploying US-made platforms like the C-17, Apache, C-130J and P-8I aircraft, and the M-777 ultra-light howitzer (eg at the LAC).

DISA Director, @usairforce Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, considers identity management an 'one area where the department can look to industry for a way ahead.'

'We want to leverage that technology to be able to provide greater options, so it's... truly multi-factor [auth]'.
'... the department must leverage what's happening in industry, and undergo a change in culture, to get to a "data-centric" environment versus a "network-centric" environment', that is, 'protect data' > 'protect infrastructure storing data'.
