Part 3/9:
President Biden's National Cybersecurity Strategy outlines two fundamental shifts: first, to rebalance the responsibility for defending cyberspace, and second, to realign incentives that favor sustainable cybersecurity investments. The report asserts that the technical community is "well positioned" to contribute to these strategic goals, particularly in terms of minimizing memory safety vulnerabilities.
