Cybersecurity is like having a strong lock on your house door—it helps to keep the bad guys out of your private space. The United States Government knows how important it is to have good locks on the doors of the country’s computer systems. That’s why they made the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, or JCDC for short. The JCDC’s job is to bring together smart people from different places like government agencies, private companies, and other groups to protect the nation’s computers and information from hackers.
Just like any team, the JCDC needs some guidance to be the best it can be. That’s why a group of experts has come together to give the JCDC some tips on how to work better. They said, “Stay focused on what you’re here to do.” It’s like reminding a soccer team that the goal is to score goals, not to get distracted with who has the coolest shoes.
One of the big ideas from these experts is that the JCDC shouldn’t wander off their path. The mission they have is really important, and they need to keep their eyes on the prize. They also recommended that the JCDC should work closely with all sorts of companies, large and small, to make sure everyone is working together to keep the country’s computers safe.
Think about it like a neighborhood watch, where everyone in the neighborhood looks out for each other to keep the whole area safe. If someone sees something suspicious, they let everyone else know. If the JCDC can make their partnership with companies strong, they can do the same thing, but for the country’s digital neighborhood.
