"While we will need to study the full set of recommendations more closely, we are pleased that the Task Force's recommendations recognize that it will take a true public-private collaboration to advance America's cybersecurity interests. We are heartened that the proposal favors an incentive-based approach and contemplates significant private-sector participation in the development and deployment of cyber-defenses. We also appreciate its focus on the importance of greater public-private information sharing to protecting America's communications infrastructure."
