This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and let's dive right into the latest US-China CyberPulse updates. This week has been a whirlwind of new defensive strategies and government policies aimed at bolstering US cybersecurity against Chinese threats.
Just a couple of days ago, on December 11, the US House of Representatives unanimously passed the 'Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act,' or H.R. 9769. This legislation, championed by Representatives Laurel Lee, Mark E. Green, and John Moolenaar, establishes an interagency task force led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to tackle extensive cybersecurity threats posed by state-sponsored cyber actors linked to the People's Republic of China (PRC)[1].
This move comes on the heels of the FCC's recent mandate for telecom carriers to secure their networks against future cyberattacks, particularly those from state-sponsored actors in China. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel emphasized the importance of securing the nation's communications critical infrastructure to promote national security, public safety, and economic security[4].
But that's not all. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has also issued a proposed rule restricting sensitive data transfers to China and other adversary countries. This rule, if adopted, would impose data security requirements on or prohibit certain covered data transactions by US persons with foreign persons connected to countries of concern, including China[2].
Meanwhile, the FBI and CISA have issued a joint statement revealing a broad and significant cyber espionage campaign by PRC-affiliated actors targeting commercial telecommunications infrastructure. This campaign has compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies, enabling the theft of customer call records data and the compromise of private communications of individuals involved in government or political activity[5].
It's clear that the US is taking a multi-faceted approach to counter Chinese cyber threats. From legislative actions to regulatory measures and international cooperation efforts, the focus is on enhancing cyber resilience and protecting critical infrastructure. As we move forward, it's crucial to stay vigilant and adapt to the evolving cyber landscape.
So, there you have it – the latest US-China CyberPulse updates. It's been a busy week, but one thing's for sure: the US is gearing up to tackle Chinese cyber threats head-on. Stay safe out there, and I'll catch you in the next update.
