Tom Uren: 美国政府提出的网络保险兜底计划可能并不合理。该计划旨在弥补网络保险缺口,并提高整体网络安全水平。然而,该计划缺乏经济上的合理性,因为网络活动并未因网络战风险而停止。此外,该计划的实施存在难度,难以确定有效的安全措施,并衡量其成本效益。Tom Uren认为,政府应考虑是否有更直接有效的方法来提高网络安全,而不是依赖于网络保险兜底计划。他认为,如果该计划的目标是通过保险公司提高安全要求来改善整体网络安全状况,那么这是一种巧妙的策略,但并非最佳方案。 Patrick Gray: 同意Tom Uren的观点,认为美国政府提出的网络保险兜底计划可能并不合理。他认为,该计划的实施存在难度,难以确定有效的安全措施,并衡量其成本效益。 Patrick Gray: 与2016年相比,如今的媒体在处理泄露的材料时更加谨慎,不会轻易被利用来干扰选举。如今的记者在核实泄露信息的真实性方面更加专业和谨慎。媒体机构在决定是否报道泄露信息时,会权衡其新闻价值和信息来源的合法性。美国法院关于地理围栏令的裁决可能意味着任何数据库搜索都可能违宪,这将对数据安全产生重大影响。由于谷歌改变了手机位置数据的存储方式,该裁决对智能手机的影响可能有限。存储大量数据存在风险,公司应改变数据管理策略,降低风险。
