Effectively addressing future cybersecurity threats means building on what’s worked in the past and adopting policies that respond to the cybersecurity challenges of tomorrow.
AT&T and the telecommunications sector as a whole have a long history of working cooperatively and productively with the federal government in response to cybersecurity incidents. This public-private partnership model has proven most effective in providing policy, planning, and an operations framework necessary for a coordinated and effective response to threats. The increasing complexity and sophistication of the cyber attacks of tomorrow will require even stronger public-private partnerships, ecosystem wide participation, improved international collaboration, and the adoption of new technologies.
