US President-elect Donald Trump has named most of the members of his proposed cabinet. However, he’s yet to reveal key appointees to America’s powerful cyber warfare and intelligence institutions.
These include positions like national cyber director, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and National Security Council cyber lead. These figures will be vital in securing America’s cyber security at a crucial time.
We believe there are three flashpoints that could be particularly troublesome for the incoming administration:
- how Trump will balance his economic and security priorities
- how his administration can effectively deter Chinese digital disruption
- how it will address the suspicions among some MAGA supporters of the powers of the intelligence “deep state.”
Intensifying Chinese cyber espionage
Chinese electronic surveillance and espionage activities against the US have reached an all-time high in terms of level of effort and, most importantly, effectiveness.
