Mike Pence: Cyber-warfare is new tool of US enemies

We have got to bring together the best resources of this country to understand that cyber warfare is the new warfare of the enemies that we face in this country. I look forward if I'm privileged to be in this role of working with you in the Senate to make sure that we resource that effort.

Tim Kaine: Initiate "intelligence surge" for cyber-security with allies

Q: What do you mean by "intelligence surge"?

A: An intelligence surge is two things. It involves increasing our own workforce, but striking great partnerships with some of our cyber and intel experts in the private sector so that we can, consistent with constitutional principles, gather more intelligence. It also means creating stronger alliances, because you gather intelligence and then you share your intelligence back and forth with allies.
