\u201cIn an age when so much of our lives are conducted online, cyber attacks must be treated as a serious threat by our leadership at the highest levels.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This statement was given by Joe Biden, the President of the United States, at a press conference in Delaware conducted in December 2020. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s increasingly interconnected environment, the cyber security landscape in the US is becoming more and more concerning every day. Cyber risks have long overtaken all the other kinds of threats to become one of the biggest threats to the economy of the US. For over a decade, vulnerability mitigation has been the primary cornerstone of the country\u2019s approach to cyber security.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortifying the virtual perimeter and IT infrastructure can offer some protection against threat actors. However, many cybercriminals have no shortage of resources, time, and motivation for bypassing even the most extensive fortification. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As nation-state hackers as well as other cybercriminals pose a major threat to the economic and national security of the US, it is essential for the country\u2019s cyber security policy to focus not only on vulnerability mitigation but also on threat deterrence. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Document<\/title>\n<\/head>\n\n<style>\n .interestedBtn {\n width: 80% !important;\n box-sizing: border-box !important;\n display: inline-block !important;\n padding: 11px !important;\n border: 1px !important;\n border-color: #ddd !important;\n margin-top: 10px !important;\n background-color: #183e8b !important;\n background-image: none !important;\n text-shadow: none !important;\n color: #fff !important;\n font-size: 14px !important;\n line-height: 20px !important;\n border-radius: 5px !important;\n margin: 0 !important;\n cursor: pointer !important;\n box-shadow: 0px 4.66px 22.99px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);;\n }\n\n\n .formSec .formSecTwo{\n padding-top: 15px !important;\n margin-bottom: 30px !important;\n }\n\n\n .tnp-email {\n width: 80% !important;\n box-sizing: border-box;\n padding: 8px 10px;\n display: inline-block;\n border: 1px solid #ced4da;\n background: #fff;\n color: #000 !important;\n font-size: 13px;\n line-height: 20px;\n border-radius: 2px;\n padding-right: 30px;\n margin-bottom: 0px;\n }\n\n .formSec {\n border: 1px solid #ced4da;\n float: left !important;\n width: 55% !important;\n }\n\n .mainBox {\n \/* border: 1px solid #183e8b;*\/\n background: white;\n max-width: 600px !important;\n margin: 0 auto !important;\n padding: 20px !important;\n font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;\n }\n\n .boxDiv {\n display: flex !important;\n }\n\n .boxConsult {\n float: left !important;\n width: 45% !important;\n padding: 10px !important;\n }\n\n .formSecTwo {\n text-align:center !important;\n width: 100% !important;\n }\n\n .formHeading {\n font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\n margin-top: 0px;\n font-weight: 700;\n line-height: 25px;\n font-size: 18px !important;\n \n margin-bottom: 60px !important;\n color: #000!important;\n margin-top: 5px !important;\n }\n\n .fieldHeading {\n margin: 0 !important;\n font-size: 13px !important;\n text-align: left !important;\n margin: 0px 39px 2px 93px !important;\n font-weight: 500 !important;\n }\n\n .image {\n max-width:90% !important;\n height: auto !important;\n }\n\n .email-icon {\n position: absolute;\n right: 50px;\n top: 20px;\n transform: translateY(-50%);\n pointer-events: none;
