[HIB]NASA In Position To Foster Global Cybersecurity

[newsbot]

Among federal agencies, NASA is uniquely well-positioned to help the U.S. cooperate globally on cybersecurity, the CTO of security vendor Symantec said Monday. Speaking at the first-ever NASA IT Summit, Mark Bregman, Chief Technology Officer, Symantec, said that collaboration between the U.S. and other nations to protect critical IT infrastructure around the world is sorely lacking. "Diplomacy on worldwide cybersecurity cooperation is not working well at the tactical level," he said. "Technology is developing at such a rapid pace that policymakers are playing a catch-up game. There's an urgent need for diplomacy to kick starter international cooperation on cybersecurity." While multiple U.S. agencies are working to come up with standards for addressing cybersecurity, NASA, which historically has worked successfully with other nations on space projects, can pave the way for creating a safer IT environment globally. Bregman said.
