Description
In this book, one of America's leading analysts of cybersecurity policy presents an incisive, first-time examination of how President Trump's unique, often baffling governing style has collided with the imperatives of protecting the nation's cybersecurity. Mitchell reveals how qualities that drove success in business and reality TV - impatience and unpredictability, posturing as an unassailable "strong man," and aversion to systematic approaches - have been antithetical to effective leadership on cybersecurity. Mitchell reveals how the United States is trying to navigate through one of the most treacherous passages in history. Facing this challenge, He argues that the strategic pieces put forth by Trump do not add up to a coherent whole, or a cybersecurity legacy likely to endure past his presidency. Cyber in the Age of Trump will be required reading for both insiders and citizens concerned about American response to the wide variety of cyberthreats at home and abroad.
