Defense At Hyperscale: Technologies and Policies for a Defensible Cyberspace
summary
A recent task force catalogs concrete interventions that scale: automated updates (the classic million‑x payoff), moving services to a cloud‑based architecture to rebuild on a secure foundation, virtualization/containerization for instant reprovisioning, ubiquitous encryption, secure‑by‑default configs, mass vulnerability scanning and software hardening. A surprisingly large effect appears from policy too — public indictments and a US‑China commercial espionage agreement correspond to an observed ~90% drop in detected commercial compromises — and the recommendation is to pursue defenses that deliver one million x cost advantage.
