Quote from the transcript: "If you had the influence, what would you change to improve US cybersecurity?" Answer: "I would require the major internet providers as a matter of regulation to filter the packets to look for signatures of attacks and blackhole them. I'd give the signatures to them. In a regulated industry - finance, power and telecommunications - I'd require all the software be vetted for all kinds of mistakes." - Richard Clarke<p>Just a lot of more security layers/patches in the form of regulations -> less internet freedom. Vetting software for mistakes is a big waste of time and resources. I read his book. And in it, Richard Clarke asks AT&T Cybersecurity officer, Edward Amoroso, the same question. Amoroso's response is the same: If her were the US cybersecurity Czar, he would like initiatives to look for software errors and make software more secure...C'mon, seriously?
