The U.S. government needs to be more proactive in responding to and mitigating cyber threats, including potentially re-organizing the government to better prioritize cyber-related concerns, former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Chris Krebs said during a keynote address at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
“I think we have to take a hard look at the way we’re organized and make a smarter, more efficient, more organized government,” said Krebs, who served as CISA’s inaugural director from 2018 until 2020 and is currently a founding partner at the Krebs Stamos Group.
