The U.S. government faces a critical cybersecurity challenge, with severe incidents like those at UnitedHealth Group and CrowdStrike exposing systemic weaknesses. Inadequate boardroom leadership exacerbates the problem, as many corporate boards lack essential cybersecurity expertise.
Effective governance requires integrating cybersecurity experts into boards to strengthen oversight and defenses. The U.S. government should mandate this expertise to address vulnerabilities and improve digital resilience. Without such reforms, cybersecurity issues will persist, undermining the integrity of digital infrastructure and compromising national security.
