纽约 (CNN Business) 商界领袖和前政策制定者正在敲响网络警报。
摩根大通国际理事会周四敦促公共和私营部门加强网络安全工作，以应对日益危险的经济和国家安全威胁。
该委员会包括摩根大通 (JPM) 首席执行官杰米·戴蒙 (Jamie Dimon)、强生 (JNJ) 首席执行官亚历克斯·戈尔斯基 (Alex Gorsky) 和前国务卿康多莉扎·赖斯 (Condoleezza Rice)，呼吁政府和企业之间加强合作，加强情报共享和更严格的网络安全立法。
“网络是世界上最危险的武器——在政治、经济和军事上，”摩根大通国际理事会副主席、前国防部长鲍勃·盖茨在报告中说，该报告仅与 CNN 共享。
今年发生的几起备受瞩目的黑客攻击凸显了网络漏洞带来的危险。
今年早些时候，在勒索软件攻击关闭了美国最重要的能源基础设施之一殖民地管道后，东南部出现了汽油短缺。后来，渗透到 JBS 的网络攻击迫使肉类生产商关闭了美国各地工厂的所有牛肉生产。
2020 年，俄罗斯黑客入侵了美国联邦机构，攻击了多达 14 家科技公司。
摩根大通国际委员会写道：“2021 年的网络攻击数量和复杂程度都在增加，这表明拥有大量资源的国家行为者和犯罪集团都有能力威胁关键基础设施并最终威胁到国家安全。”
白宫周四发出一封信，列出了商界领袖在这个假期可以采取的防御网络攻击的步骤。
拜登网络官员在信中警告说：“不幸的是，恶意网络行为者没有休假——如果我们没有做好准备和保护，他们可能会毁了我们的假期。”
摩根大通委员会的成员还包括英国前首相托尼·布莱尔和美国前国务卿亨利·基辛格，称拜登政府和国会在应对网络挑战方面做了“大量工作”。
然而，摩根大通委员会于 1967 年首次召开会议，也提出了“扩大这些努力的机会”，包括：
-加强公共和私营部门之间的合作
- 加大政府机构网络安全专家的招聘力度
- 加强志同道合的国家之间的情报共享
-定义和“执行网络行为规范”
- 通过立法来编纂拜登政府和前几届政府颁布的行政命令
盖茨写道：“公共和私营部门必须共同努力，加强我们的企业和政府活动以应对这种威胁，并充分教育美国人民这种武器的危险性。”
企业担心政府会阻止英特尔
摩根大通委员会呼吁各国政府采取更多措施，更及时地将网络犯罪分子绳之以法。报告称，这将在公共和私营部门之间“建立更大的信任并改善信息共享”。
“网络风险对国家、经济和企业至关重要，”戴蒙在报告中写道。 “为了帮助保护国家安全和克服贸易障碍，我们需要追究不良行为者的责任，为受事件影响的人提供透明度，投资提升网络安全，并采取安全可靠的数据保护和处理做法。”
该委员会认为，至关重要的是政府不要隐瞒他们对网络事件和威胁的了解。
报告称：“一些商界领袖认为，政府没有尽可能多地分享信息，这会破坏信任并阻碍企业以实物形式分享信息。”
美联储主席杰罗姆鲍威尔周三警告称，大规模网络攻击可能会扰乱金融市场。
在新闻发布会上被问及金融稳定风险时，鲍威尔提到了常见的威胁，例如新的 Covid-19 变体和高市场估值。但随后他对美联储将如何应对重大网络事件表示担忧。
“网络攻击成功的风险……将很难处理，”鲍威尔说。 “我们知道如何处理不良贷款之类的事情。我认为，如果网络攻击要摧毁一家主要金融机构或金融市场公用事业公司，那将是我们尚未真正面临的重大金融稳定风险。 ”
Exclusive: 'Cyber is the most dangerous weapon in the world,' JPMorgan council warns
New York (CNN Business)Business leaders and former policymakers are sounding the cyber alarm.
The JPMorgan International Council on Thursday urged the public and private sector to step up their cybersecurity efforts to combat an increasingly dangerous threat to the economy and national security.
The council, which includes JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) CEO Alex Gorsky and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, called for greater collaboration between the government and businesses, stepped-up intelligence sharing and tougher cybersecurity legislation.
"Cyber is the most dangerous weapon in the world -- politically, economically and militarily," former Defense Secretary Bob Gates, the vice chairman of the JPMorgan International Council, said in the report, which was shared exclusively with CNN.
Several high-profile hacks this year underscore the dangers posed by cyber vulnerabilities.
Earlier this year, gasoline shortages emerged in the Southeast after a ransomware attack shut down the Colonial Pipeline, one of America's most vital pieces of energy infrastructure. Later, a cyberattack that infiltrated JBS forced the meat producer to shut down all beef production at facilities across the United States.
In 2020, Russian hackers breached US federal agencies in an attack that compromised as many as 14 technology firms.
"Cyber attacks in 2021 grew in number and sophistication, demonstrating that both state actors with vast resources as well as criminal groups have the capacity to threaten critical infrastructure and ultimately national security," the JPMorgan International Council wrote.
The White House sent out a letter Thursday laying out steps business leaders can take to defend against cyber attacks this holiday season.
"Unfortunately, malicious cyber actors are not taking a holiday -- and they can ruin ours if we're not prepared and protected," Biden cyber officials warned in the letter.
The JPMorgan council, whose members also include former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, credited the Biden administration and Congress for an "enormous amount of work" aimed at tackling the cyber challenge.
Yet the JPMorgan council, which first met in 1967, also laid out "opportunities to amplify these efforts," including:
-Strengthening the collaboration between public and private sectors
-Ramping up the hiring of cybersecurity experts in government agencies
-Enhancing intelligence sharing among like-minded countries
-Defining and "enforcing norms of cyber behavior"
-Passing legislation to codify executive orders enacted by the Biden administration and prior administrations
"The public and private sectors must work together to fortify our business and government activities against this threat," Gates wrote, "and adequately educate the American people about just how dangerous this weapon is."
Business fears government is holding back on intel
The JPMorgan council called for governments to do more to bring cyber criminals to justice in a more timely manner. The report said this would "build greater trust and improve information sharing" between the public and private sectors.
"Cyber risk is of critical importance to countries, economies, and businesses," Dimon wrote in the report. "To help protect national security and overcome impediments to trade, we need to hold bad actors accountable, provide transparency to those affected by incidents, invest in the uplift to cybersecurity, and adopt safe and sound practices for data protection and handling."
The council argued that its crucial that governments don't withhold what they know about cyber incidents and threats.
"There is a perception among some business leaders that the government is not sharing as much information as it could, which undermines trust and discourages businesses from sharing information in kind," the report said.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned Wednesday about how a widescale cyberattack could roil financial markets.
Asked during a press conference to identify risks to financial stability, Powell mentioned commonly cited threats such as a new Covid-19 variant and high market valuations. But then he expressed concern about how the Fed would respond to a major cyber event.
"The risk of a successful cyberattack ... would be very difficult to deal with," Powell said. "We know how to deal with bad loans and things like that. I think if a cyberattack that were to take down a major financial institution or financial market utility, that would be really significant financial stability risks that we haven't actually faced yet."
