As the spectacle of the disorderly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan nauseates most Americans, the idea that the U.S. is involved in another potential war caught the attention of many as President Biden shared a warning about cyberattacks leading to a “real shooting war” in a recent speech at the Office for the Director of National Intelligence. The remarks illustrate the significance of the ongoing cyberattacks that have been specifically linked to sources out of China, Russia, Iran, and groups associated with ISIS. The remarks further highlight those threats against the country and infrastructure are on an exponential rise and the nation now considers a tangible military response to a cyber attack as a potential and appropriate course of action. Organizations are now thrust at the front lines of this international confrontation, and it is up to organizations themselves to prepare not only to protect themselves, but also show up with a patriotic mentality of protection for the sake of the nation.
