Interesting. Do you have you have more than this article to go on (I found it's connection tenuous, but it could be just this report). Has the white house nudged CISPA specifically? What's quoted in this article is sort of a blanket "partnership with private sector" statement.
The problem is that there are tons of different ways that national and military partnership expresses itself and especially in the case of cyber partnership. For example here's a quote from Richard A. Clarke, previous National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States, on the private sector and cybersecurity: "There are certain circumstances under which private sector companies may be legally targeted by national militaries both in kinetic and cyber conflict. Under the law of armed conflict and the principle of distinction, civilian infrastructure is generally considered to be separate from military objects, with military installations always targettable during international conflict and civilian infrastructure off limits from direct attack. However, even in the physical realm, there is often ambiguity about what constitutes civilian infrastructure...
Without extensive private sector involvement, governments would not be able to devise international cyber norms that would work or be accepted. Beyond the need for their expertise, private sector cyber corporations also have equities in the conduct of governments in cyberspace. Private actors must participate in the development of international norms related to cyber war if for no other reason than they are potential targets for attack."
