In a first, US will allow some private firms to carry out cyberattacks
The Trump administration published a presidential memorandum permitting vetted private companies to conduct offensive cyber operations against international criminal groups and hackers on behalf of the U.S. government. This marks the first time the federal government has formally authorized private firms to carry out such attacks.
Why it matters: Security practitioners and private sector organizations should understand the new regulatory framework and potential implications for offensive cybersecurity operations, liability, and government partnerships in defending against criminal cyber threats.
