Amid rising cybersecurity threats, Brian Gallagher, CEO of CodeLock, explores America's readiness.
Can America 'stay ahead and catch up' in the world of increasing cybersecurity threats, or will the red tape be our demise? Brian Gallagher is the CEO and Co-Founder of CodeLock, where he pioneers technologies emerging in the intersection of physical security and cybersecurity. Most of today's industry and government-run on software, making both the average citizen and our country's infrastructure susceptible to major security threats. Due to the hurdles of America's policies and legislative process, we are seeing a lack of funding in the sectors that would help drive innovation and security advancements at a governmental level. While the government relies on entrepreneurs and industry elites to set the benchmark for innovation and push for policy mandates, getting policies implemented is a precarious trial. The threat of security attacks in the digital age is increasing exponentially every year, can we find the balance between morality, rules and strategy? Notes:
