Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, Fort Hays State University, course: IDS 803, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to argue that the public-private partnership represents the ultimate solution to protect the national cyber security of the United States against frequent and violent cyber-attacks. The paper will elaborate the importance of the cyber security to the national security of the United States, then assesses the present solitary governmental defense measures, and highlights the loopholes and defects of the current unilateral administrative strategy that does not involve the private sector neither in the decision-making process, nor in the execution phase of the defense strategy. The paper will also highlight the roles of the White House, military and intelligence agencies, and subsequently connect them to the proposed public-private partnership and how this partnership is going to synergize their roles. Consequently, this paper is concerned with the cyber defense strategy of the United States. For the past three decades, the United States has been struggling to formulate that strategy to counter the continuous cyber-attacks and threats, and to protect the national interest of our country. With the constant advance in technology every day, it's pretty much debatable whether our defense techniques are enough and deterrent. Some may see the recommendations adopted throughout this paper argumentative. However, we all agree that cyberspace will never be fully secure. In the same time, there is much that can be done to acquire new strengths, increase the ability to adapt, and reduce the risk of those threats and attacks.
