五、硅谷之声
美国土安全部(DHS)部长Kirstjen Nielsen表示，美还没有排除对外国进行网络攻击并采取全方面回应的选择。在旧金山举行的RSA网络安全会议上，这位部长表示，美国需要采取强硬的立场来终止黑客对该国基础设施的攻击。美国政府和科技界正在解决一个棘手的问题，即各国是否要对由外国政府发起或资助的黑客发起网络攻击。目前该问题还未达成共识，但许多科技公司都表示不会参加这样的行动。
Speaking to the RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco, Nielsen said the US needs to take an assertive stance to stop hacks against its infrastructure. To deter such attacks, she considers the possibility of recommending cyberstrikes when planning responses with other government agencies.Nielsen's comments come as the government and technology community wrestle with the thorny issue of whether countries should carry out cyberattacks in response to hacks committed or funded by foreign governments. No consensus has emerged and many tech companies have declared they won't participate in a cyberstrike.
