SIA Commends Department of Commerce & Homeland Security on Botnet Report
On May 30, 2018, the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security released an action-oriented report on how the private sector and government can collaborate to mitigate against the threat of botnets and automated distributed attacks.
The Security Industry Association (SIA) commends the extensive efforts of these two departments to develop this report, and SIA supports the primary goals described within the report, titled Report to the Present on Enhancing the Resilience of the Internet and Communications Ecosystem Against Botnets and Other Automated, Distributed Threats. The departments’ report to the President correctly place emphasis on the importance of fostering private sector innovation and market incentives as methods to combat the destructive and far-reaching nature of botnets, SIA said.
