For the past 10 years, the federal government has been desperate to pass all kinds of legislation around "cyber warfare", expanding their powers (shocking, they want to expand their powers). They consistently cite how we don't ask corporations to defend national borders so we shouldn't ask them to defend against cyber threats.
But here's the thing...government doesn't place soldiers inside of corporations to defend this country. And they don't ask corporations to facilitate the needs of soldiers. The military is responsible for securing the borders so that everything within the borders can be free from stifling federal government interference. If the federal government wants to defend the "perimeter" of the internet (ie the submarine communication cables once they come into the U.S.), then great. I'm all for it. But requiring anything from corporations is unacceptable.
