DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR “It is night and day—go talk to anybody who looked at SOUTHCOM. I was NOT JOKING when I talked about what the priorities were.

Dan @danpdabrowski - October 11 will be the relevant date. Until then the consensus operating procedures must be established pursuant to the memo.
Then it’ll be decided which companies are vetted/accepted. Also, the DOJ/DHS will be able to conclude contracts.

Chris Wysopal @WeldPond - This is a pretty big shift in U.S. cyber policy.
The White House is setting up a program that would let private cybersecurity companies conduct government-authorized operations against foreign cybercriminal groups, including surveillance and disruption of their infrastructure.
Not exactly “hack back,” but definitely a major expansion of the private sector’s role in offensive cyber operations.
