CIA Director John Brennan said he believes that the digital space provides a challenge to governance models that is fundamentally new in human history and that the U.S. government needs to do more to meet the challenge.
“We have known for decades, centuries, if not millennia what the role of governance is in the physical space — on our streets, seaports, airports, whatever,” Brennan said in a Sept. 14 appearance at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. But the digital world, “which does not respect sovereign boundaries and which the government does not own or control and which is increasingly limitless,” is another matter.
