Defense at Hyperscale: Technologies and Policies for a Defensible Cyberspace
summary
A task‑force finds defense can be cheaper and more scalable than offense by targeting engineering and policy levers that remove whole attack classes: rollout of automated updates and broad cloud‑based architecture change the economics, containerization and fast reprovisioning collapse recovery time, ubiquitous encryption and secure‑by‑default configs raise attacker cost, and public policies like a formal vulnerabilities equities process plus indictments and US‑China agreements correlate with a ~90% drop in commercial espionage.
