be taken quarterly based upon the tracking of Threats, Vulnerabilities and Network Assets. While
we would like private companies to adhere to this standard and our US Government should provide
tools to help them, through SBA.gov, the Small Business Administration, it should only be required
for those in the private sector that suffer a significant breach.

However, SBA.gov, StaySafeOnline.org and other groups should have a stronger INFOSEC
marketing initiative to the private businesses who have become the main target as backdoors into
the larger, more secure corporations for which they have business relationships.

PROSECUTION OF CYBER CRIMINALS INCLUDING NATION STATES

Unlike prior administrations, we should take most seriously, whether it is a cyber-crime gang or a
Nation state, when a breach occurs, if there is enough evidence to point to a source such as a
cyber-criminal gang or even a nation, such as China, this breach.

We should make full efforts to extradite those nationals who need to be prosecuted for their
cybercrimes, here in America, even if they are located in North Korea, or Iran or China or Russia.

We should hold a nation state accountable for a PII breach where their citizens or government
employees have stolen our data through means of cyber espionage by forcing sanctions upon them
until reparations are acceptable to our Attorney General, leaders in Congress and the President.

NO MORE NSA BACKDOORS IN COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT

The backdoors installed in Cisco and other company equipment, now known to the world, has cost
our high tech industry nearly $10 Billion in revenues this year, alone. John Chambers, CEO of
Cisco asked President Obama to make this problem go away and according to leaks by Edward
Snowden, this problem has only grown worse.

In reaction, other nations don’t trust our telephone equipment, cellular equipment, network
equipment, laptops, PCs, routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, wireless routers and so much more that
it’s killing this industry.

The NSA will have to find alternative and legal means of collecting data without tarnishing the Made
in America brand any longer.

EMBRACING CITIZEN AND US GOVERNMENT USE OF ENCRYPTION

Just as the right to bear arms, the Second Amendment, speaks to the sovereignty of all Americans,
having their rights to defend themselves, the US Government needs to support their rights to
privacy and internet safety and security by supporting their use of new and advanced encryption
technologies.
