Following the DoD's release of its first cyber strategy last week, Rep. Michael McCaul told MT on Thursday that he and Jim Langevin 'both wish [DoD] had gone a little further' in defining an act of war in the digital age.

'They touched on it but they didn't clearly define it. I think it's important to our enemies to define what the response will be in the event that a nation-state does attack the United States through a cyber warfare attack and spell it out,' he said. McCaul still wants DoD to define what type of attack would warrant a cyber response and what would result in kinetic retaliation.
