Foreign governments have begun directly attacking private companies in cyber attacks, representing a new threat to the US economy. Brian Arellanes, CEO of ITSource Technology, works with companies to implement strong security practices to protect against these nation-state threats. Arellanes believes the US government must determine what constitutes an act of cyber war and draft guidelines for responding to foreign government attacks on private enterprises. As more devices are connected through the "Internet of Things", the threat of cyber attacks will continue to increase, requiring companies to constantly improve their defenses.
