bái gōng白宫gōng bù公布xīn新de的wǎng luò ān quán网络安全zhàn lüè战略
The White House announced a new cybersecurity strategy, stating that the U.S. will protect cyberspace more strongly and take a more proactive approach against foreign hackers and cybercrime.
The document mentions that cyberattacks could affect governments, companies, and critical infrastructure such as power, transportation, and communications.
The strategy has six key points: making attackers pay a higher price; clarifying cybersecurity regulations; updating federal government computer systems; protecting critical infrastructure; maintaining advantages in new technologies like AI and quantum computing; and cultivating more cybersecurity talent.
The White House also emphasized preventing some countries from using digital technology for surveillance and censorship, which affects freedom of speech.
U.S. officials often view China as one of the main threats, believing hacker groups conduct cyber espionage activities.
The U.S. also said it will cooperate with allies, using diplomacy, joint actions, and sanctions to respond to malicious attacks, warning that those who attack the U.S. will face serious consequences.
