Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen delivered the 2019 State of Homeland Security Address, providing her assessment of the security landscape, operational challenges, and a look forward at DHS’s forthcoming strategic plan. Among other highlights, she emphasized the gravity of the threat of nation states targeting individuals and enterprises in the U.S. “America is not prepared for this. Your average private citizen or company is no match against a nation-state such as China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia. It is not a fair fight. And until now our government has done far too little to back them up,” said Secretary Nielsen.
