Jeb Bush: 'Appalling' that US is not 'superior' in cyberspace

Former Gov Jeb Bush (R-FL) pledged that as president, he would make the military’s cybersecurity skills “superior to anything fielded against them.” “It is frankly appalling that the United States is not plainly superior to rivals who seek to undermine us in cyberspace,” he said.

Bush, who has fallen back in the GOP presidential polls since entering the race as a perceived front-runner, touched on the Paris attacks at the top of his remarks, arguing the incident is further evidence that "the greatest risk of all is the risk of military inferiority." He then segued into a broader plan to “rebuild our military forces starting with our most urgent needs,” such as improving surveillance and cybersecurity capabilities. “Our government, and American companies, are under cyberattack every day,” he said. “To protect ourselves, it is not enough to keep making fixes after every breach.”
