Cybersecurity threats are a vital issue for the nation, and like the Defense Department, 
businesses must own the problem to successfully carry out their missions, DOD’s top cybersecurity expert told a forum of businesspeople.
Navy Adm. Michael S. Rogers, commander of U.S. Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency and chief of the Central Security Service, at Bloomberg Government’s Cybersecurity Summit in Washington.
Corporations must successfully deal with cybersecurity threats, because such threats can have direct impacts on business and reputation, Rogers told the business audience. “You have to consider cybersecurity threats every bit as foundational as we do in our ability to maneuver forces as a military construct,” he said.
“When I look at the problem set, I’m struck by a couple things that I highlight with my business counterparts,” Rogers said. “Traditionally, we’ve largely been focused on attempts to prevent intrusions. I’ve increasingly come to the opinion that we must spend more time focused on detection.
