In my humble opinion the US needs a cyber security Manhattan/Moonshot project a great deal more. We should be training phalanxes of people to code securely, designing open and secure hardware (no more binary blobs, no more back doors) and doing everything else we can do uplift our aging and insecure infrastructure. This isn't jingoistic sabre rattling: allegedly secure systems will always have some flaws and rely on people and therefore always be exploitable, so this isn't an us vs an enemy argument about some Boogeyman coming to get us. It's more about acknowledging we need the modern day equivalent of air bags, seat belts and crumple zones so the average user is more secure in their endeavors and proper lane markers, potholes filled and so on so where they travel is the best it can reasonably be as well.
