Should the U.S. Develop a National Cyberdoctrine?

With cybersecurity breaches on the rise in both the public and private sectors, concerns have arisen regarding whether cyberattacks are being properly combated. These rising concerns have many in the IT industry asking if and when the U.S. federal government will develop a national cyberdoctrine to guide U.S. policy in these matters. Tim Sample, vice president and sector manager of special programs at Battelle, said a national cyberdoctrine would place an overarching framework on these matters, and would allow for all levels of government to orchestrate a plan on cyber-related issues and determine government’s role in the process.
