White House taps security firms for offensive hack-back operations
The White House has issued a memo directing the National Coordination Center to create a program enabling private security firms to seek approval for offensive hacking operations against foreign cybercrime organizations. The initiative represents a shift toward privatized offensive cyber capabilities as part of U.S. cybersecurity strategy.
Why it matters: Security practitioners and firms should monitor eligibility criteria and legal frameworks for this program, as it changes the liability and regulatory landscape for offensive operations that were previously restricted to government agencies.
