The plan is little more than a proposal that government takes over business. If you take down the privately owned and operated telecoms and electricity and banking and transportation networks, you have destroyed this country. So we need not only to protect the government but more importantly we need to protect the private sector systems. What is striking is not how much terrorism there is but how little .

Biological weapons are extremely difficult to make.
So it's not inconceivable to have a scenario in the future in which a future opponent might think that they could attack our civilian, privately-owned infrastructure through computer attack. Note the vagueness, the pretentious jargon. Nations generally know who their adversaries are and whether they pose a threat or not. Clinton's artificially generated hysteria has little to do with national interest or national security.
