The Next Manhattan Project
Just participated in The White House Summit on Cybersecurity at Stanford. The President and all the participants focused on the fact that cyber is the threat of the 21st century, that government alone can’t protect us, and that no company has the resources to completely protect themselves. Recent history confirms this. Thus to collaborate, to share, and to work together is our real only solution. There was plenty of head nods to the Constitution and privacy. Tony Earley, CEO of PG&E, said that we need to work together like we did on the Manhattan Project. Now that is big thinking, and a big call to action. I couldn’t agree more.
