systems, the more opportunities to operate in cyberspace. on the other end of the spectrum, we start looking at the except si we have as a government and civil society. the lights are on because somewhere there's an i. t. system running a power system. so, therefore, because that dependency exists, any threats against those systems have a more dramatic effect on us which is why we're getting more focus on identifying what's going on out there, trying to isolate what exactly the impact's going to be, but more importantly, how do we stop it from happening? >> >> host: different corners of the government seem to have different views on how severe the threat is. and one of your jobs is to coordinate these differing views. but one of the most vocal opponents has been the pentagon with officials warning of a cyber pearl harbor and things like that. a lot of times in your comments i don't necessarily see that sort of approach taken. i'm wondering how publicly we're suppose today assimilate different views across the administration in terms of how s

one of them of course is the release of the national strategy for trusted identity and cyberspace. looking at identity and how we do that and how do you trust the identities. the second one of course which i think we will talk about in a little bit is of the administrative case. what are the things that congress can do to not only help the u.s. government but the businesses. the end of the third one is the cornerstone of a lot of what we are looking at is the president's international strategy on cyberspace and the cyberspace strategy security because the subtitle was prosperity and economy in a sort of technical world that we live in today. >> i'm wondering if we can do one more state setting question to the if you can characterize on at least a weekly basis with new evidence of the cyber infiltration attack and things like that. how do you when you look across the board whether it is state based, cybercrime etc., how do you characterize the threat the united states is facing right now? >> characterized the bald leases. you have to get the areas in the cybercrime. clearly we've se

>> guest: well, the country faces a wide spectrum of threats in cyberspace, all the way from vandalism and petty crime to more serious crime, theft of intellectual property to things that people are calling cyberwarfare and so it is a wide spectrum of threats. i think the fundamental issue is that our laws and policies have not kept up with the changes in technology, and so to a large extent, the government is playing catch-up and that is what i think the white house proposal is trying to address. that is what we are trying to address and congress is to try to help update basically our laws and policies. i think the white house proposal has some very helpful elements in it. there are -- i think it is a good building block for steps that congress can and should take. it doesn't address all the issues, but we are not going to fix all the issues in a single bill. it is going to take a conversation with the mag and people. it is going to take, i think, an incremental sort of approach, but there are a number of issues that it does not address but i think we need -- mcaleese need to be talki

the key issue for many americans, how to security in cyberspace. there's civil liberty issues here because the white house is also claiming some new authority for the government to collect information on how people use the internet as well as some new authority to intercept private communications, and we understand why they do that, but rethink when the activities are looked at closely, the need for clear legal standards really becomes apparent, and i would begin by saying one of the key privacy concerns is that when the government takes these powers, they have to be very clear legal reasons and clear accountability and oversight. >> host: in response to what the white house released, you said or ethics said there should be legal standards, not voluntary guidelines. >> guest: yes. this is a key point. you see, the white house is trying to address privacy and civil liberty concerns. i hear a lot about this, and i think they are genuinely recognizes that these are important issues, but at the same time, they seem to be a bit reluctant to take the typ

the key issue for many americans is how to ensure security in cyberspace. there are some privacy and civil liberties issues. the white house is climbing new authority for the government to collect information on how people use the internet. as well as new authority to intercept private communications. and we understand why they may want to do that, but we think when these types of activities are looked at closely, the need for a clear legal standard really becomes apparent. and i would begin by saying that i would think one of the key privacy concerns is that when the government takes these powers, they have to be clear legal reasons and clear accountability and oversight. host: in response to what the white house released, you said there should be legal standards and not voluntary guidelines character gue. guest: what the white house is trying to do is to recognize these are important issues. at the same time, they seem to be reluctant to take the type of meaningful steps we would like them to take. so, for example, you could update the federal wiretap law

of speech, freedom of expression, privacy, civil liberties, when it comes to cyberspace.that is one of the quartet its behalf. the president has a dedicated privacy officer in my office -- that is one of the tenets on its behalf. when the privacy agencies look at this, we want to make sure they have the confidence that we are focusing on it, that we have controls in place to make sure we are protecting privacy and civil liberties. it is something we are accountable for. something is transparent for every organization. i think we are doing that. we will continue to move forward with legislation to make sure this takes place. the other piece is then data breach notification. one is citizens. we're not sure what our rights are when it comes to information being compromised and in the hands of a third party. on the same token, businesses that have that information are dealing with 47 pieces of legislation from different states that is encrypted or not encrypt it. once again, i think we need help on the privacy, this proposal with the national data breach of notification. host

is in deciding on its policies of, you know, what is deterrence in cyberspace, what is an act of war in cyberspace, some of these things that probably need to be clear if you're really going to make use of those policy tools? >> guest: the obama administration has made a lot of good progress, so i think we're further along than sometimes might be the public appearance. and in deterrence, pretty good idea, we have something called cross-domain deterrence which is you do cyber, i do a missile. that's a good idea. the issue with deterrence is there are some things that are not deter bl through military force, and that gets into the definition of an attack. so espionage, crime don't usually justify a military response. we're really good at deterring military attacks, we aren't deterring espionage or crime. and that because the definition that people are revolving around hasn't been formally accepted yet around the world. but where we're coming out this is just like any other kind of military conflict. the laws of armed conflict that exist now apply, and there's not an attack if there isn

is about deterrence in cyberspace? they need to be clear if you're going to -- >> the obama administration has made progress on this. we have a pretty good idea, something cold crossing the main experience. there are some things that are not the terrible. it usually does not justify a military response. not deterring espionage or crime. formally been accepted. this is just like lots of armed conflict. there is a little bit of a gray area there. we are making the argument to include information warfare because they say that ideas are information warfare. security officials once told me that twitter is an american plot to destabilize foreign governments. they really believe that. compelling someone through the threat of force as an act that falls under armed conflict. that is not warfare, but we will have a big fight about that in the future. >> what sorts of examples of cyber attack would fall in the category of warfare, an act of war as opposed to espionage and the things that we tolerate? >> one of the most important

power in on the internet in cyberspace so i think that it forms a part of what's just been an ongoing plan and an agenda of u.s. domination worldwide in all different spheres people say that the united states has an empire of hundreds of bases all around the world so that its presence is all over the world do you see this is the u.s. building an internet empire well for us because how would be as it is i mean bases all over the world i want to write the u.s. government i mean there's no question it's a known fact the u.s. has hundreds of bases around the world and smaller operating level of like an intern absolutely and i mean we've seen it in the obama administration he specifically has talked about the fact that internet warfare cyber warfare is now one of the most cyber security is that right also is one of the most important aspects of their defense and security agenda and that's why we're seeing of course an increasing investment into this area and ways that yes they can form teams cyber teams cyber warriors as they're you've been calling them in countries throughout the world to
