His appointment was lauded by many cybersecurity experts as he enjoys great respect within this community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly before taking the oath of office, President Trump announced that former New York City mayor and close Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani would serve as an informal advisor \u201csharing his expertise and insight as a trusted friend concerning private sector cyber security problems and emerging solutions developing in the private sector,\u201d a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/greatagain.gov\/giuliani-681188f84cb5#.3je2muvb6\">statement<\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">from the transition team said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the National Security Council, top advisors to the president and the Treasury Department, though through no officials in particular, have used sanctions as a tool to deter malicious cyber behavior.

They think it\u2019s a freebee because they\u2019re halfway around the world and trying to use anyonomyzation techniques,\u201d FBI director James Comey said in a March 2016 news conference following the indictments of Iranian hackers.\u00a0 \u201cThe message of this case is that we will work together to shrink the world and impose costs on those people so that no matter where they are we will try to reach them and no matter how hard they work to hide their identity and their tradecraft, we will find ways to pierce that shield and identify them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that there\u2019s a whole-of-government approach to this and I think that we actually have seen some significant changes in our interactions with the Chinese government in terms of cybersecurity norms and in terms of the way in which they have come to agreement with the U.S on the parameters of how countries should use cyber activity with each other,\u201d former Attorney General Loretta Lynch said of the effect of these indictments against the Chinese in the face of criticism that they will never be extradited to face justice and thus are futile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indictments was a major pillar of the previous administration\u2019s cyber deterrence policy, though it is unclear if the new administration will use this as a tool in its toolbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Intelligence Community<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<u>Director of National Intelligence<\/u>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Vacant<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Indiana Senator Dan Coats was nominated by President Trump to serve as the Director of National Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this role, Coats will serve as a coordinator across the intelligence community. As was seen with the previous DNI, James Clapper, as it related to the influence operation and hacking of U.S. political institutions attributed to Russia, the intelligence community has an important role to play in offering attribution to the White House identifying parties responsible for further actions. These further actions could include sanctions, indictments, diplomatic responses such as demarches, overt responses in cyberspace or the physical world with the use of the military, or covert response. Without the attribution capabilities of the intelligence community to identify those responsible, these response options would be moot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As
