President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America: Why Integrity Is the Foundation of Modern Cyber Defense

President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America makes a few things very clear: the United States must detect adversaries earlier, secure critical infrastructure, strengthen technology supply chains, and ensure that systems can recover rapidly after cyber incidents. 
These goals appear throughout the strategy, but when viewed through a technical lens, they all depend on one foundational capability: 
Integrity.
Integrity means knowing, at any moment, that the systems we epend on are operating exactly as intended. Files have not been altered. Configurations remaincorrect. Network infrastructure is running trusted settings. Operationsl technology is functioning as designed. 
When integrity is preserved, organizations can trust their systems. 
When integrity is compromised, everything else becomes uncertain.
