President-elect Donald Trump's team wants to go on the offensive against America's cyber adversaries, though it isn't clear how the incoming administration plans to achieve this.
...
"We have been, over the years, trying to play better and better defense when it comes to cyber," Waltz said. "We need to start going on offense and start imposing, I think, higher costs and consequences to private actors and nation state actors."
There's no question that attacks on US critical infrastructure have massively increased during the last decade, and there's also no question that foreign governments often take the stance that "Shucks, it must be criminal gangs".
The idea of threatening higher (retaliatory) costs to another country seems very Trumpian.
