Retired Gen. Keith Alexander, president, IronNet Cybersecurity
He has commanded armed forces and directed the National Security Agency. Now, he s president of vendor IronNet Cybersecurity. From this unique perspective, retired General Keith Alexander says the SolarWinds breach is a call for action.
There s plenty of speculation about the breach s scope, damage and attribution. But it s clear to Alexander that the U.S. public and private sectors have been dangerously exposed. The breach highlights a strategic vulnerability our nation has, and we should be very concerned,” Alexander says. “If we don’t fix it, that will eventually be used against us and cause great damage. . This is a call for action for our nation.”
