Summary

FBI Director Christopher Wray says China is currently the most significant threat facing the United States--especially when it comes to cybersecurity. Underscoring that is a recent Washington Post report that says China has infiltrated critical infrastructure systems in the U.S., making our power grid or water supply vulnerable to a cyber-attack. On the Rundown, Matthew Kroenig, Vice President and Senior Director for the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security for the Atlantic Council, explained to host Dave Anthony how China's cyber tactics suggest the nation is preparing for war. Kroenig discusses the strategy behind China's cyberwar efforts and how they find weaknesses in our private and public online networks. The foreign policy expert also discussed what companies and government workers must do to improve their cyber practices and be ready to counter an attack from a foreign adversary. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with the Atlantic Council's Matthew Kroenig. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear even about China and other country's cyberwarfare tactics and what America must do to prepare for a future conflict. Learn more about your ad choices.
