Summary: Ben Carson is interviewed on Fox News about the current state of America’s cyber security issues. Ben Carson states that the categorization of Weapons of Mass Destruction are no longer limited to nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons. Carson is including cyber security tools and measures into this category as well. Carson’s reasoning behind it is that he wants to streamline CNO (Cyber Network Operations) by combining offensive and defensive cyber efforts into one agency rather than having multiple cyber security departments within each organization of the DoD.
