MITRE’s Call to Action
Recent insights from MITRE highlight the escalating threats posed by cyberattacks, particularly from nation-state actors such as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), targeting essential services like energy, transportation, communications, and water systems. This environment necessitates robust measures and innovative solutions to ensure resilience and operational continuity.
MITRE has been vocal about the need for the U.S. government to intensify efforts to safeguard critical infrastructure. A recent MITRE-Harris poll underscores the public’s concern, with 81% of respondents expressing worry over the security of vital services, and 78% believing that the federal government bears full or partial responsibility for fortifying these infrastructures. MITRE’s leadership emphasizes that the threat landscape has evolved significantly, requiring a shift from incremental improvements to comprehensive, coordinated responses involving both public and private sectors.
