Audio In this episode of the RANE Insights podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence speaks to an expert panel about the emerging risk and opportunities and potential consequences of going on the cyber offense. The recent SolarWinds hack has some cybersecurity experts wondering if the best defense might be a good offense. The Biden administration has pledged to take on the country's cyber adversaries and has suggested that it could include offensive cyber actions alongside deterrents like sanctions and criminal charges. These offensive measures could range from destroying the computer networks they use for cybercrime to unleashing cyber weapons on an adversary's critical infrastructure. With the U.S. government considering opening the door to offensive cyber operations, companies may also be interested in ditching the traditional approaches of building bigger fences and focusing on incident response.
