Forget the need for technical capabilities, it's the cyber policy that sucks. They want to "secure the infrastructure against hackers" and then try to promote weaker systems, remove recommendations for encryption from their own guidelines for people, and promote crypto backdoors. That's policy is completely backwards if what they really want is security. But they don't want that. What they want is hackers that can hack foreign states as well as develop malware to infect or spy on everyone. Nothing to do with security. Also, screw NYT for promoting this crap. They've been promoting the cyber-threat sharing legislation as well.

Are you speaking here about international or domestic cyber policy? There's certainly room for improvement in both, but it's starting to look like the international case is doomed not to be led by US initiatives. I think one thing that could be done is a sort of cyber disarmament - countries could declare cyber free hours, then days, then weeks - and they could trade owned networks with one another like they do today with spies as shows of good faith. This would be a starting point for collaboration.
