Cybersecurity: Obama vs. Romney
ANALYSIS: Distinguishing a Romney from an Obama Presidency
By Eric Chabrow, November 5, 2012.
Regardless of who wins the U.S. presidential election, cybersecurity will be a top administration priority. What remains uncertain is how a President Romney would differ from a second-term President Obama on his approach to IT security over the next four years.
Both candidates have made fleeting references to cybersecurity during the presidential campaign, but neither has addressed the matter in detail.
"They're stealing our intellectual property, our patents, our designs, our technology, hacking into our computers, counterfeiting our goods," Romney said at the third president debate, referencing his proposed get-tough-with-China policy. At the same debate, while addressing United States military capabilities, Obama said: "We need to be thinking about cybersecurity."
That's virtually all both candidates have said about cybersecurity on the hustings, and neither campaign responded to direct queries about their cybersecurity ideas. Their relative silence, though, doesn't mean they don't have some fundamental differences on cybersecurity. The most striking difference: The role of the federal government in developing IT security standards that could be adopted by the private sector.
Or so it seems.
