Trump's actions recently cost him a quarter of his Cybersecurity council. Resigning en masse, key members left the administration's council citing multiple factors including Russia and Charlottesville. Leaving the NIAC, the group of resigned members may have damaged the chances to close security gaps where Trump is most reluctant to address: Russia.
Cybersecurity expert and CEO of Rubica Roderick Jones sat down with Inside Counsel to discuss the calamity of losing needed voices in the White House's National Infrastructure Advisory Council, which is responsible for overseeing the United States response to emerging cyber threats. Jones is a global security leader with over 15 years of experience operating at the highest levels of the international security environment. During his time as a member of Scotland Yard's Special Branch, Roderick focused on international terrorism and the protection of a prominent British cabinet member.
“The leaders of all the White House Business Councils have had to make a calculation regarding how much reputational damage is sustained from working openly with this administration,” he explained. “Business leaders simply can't afford the negative associations with the President following his hardline stance on Confederate symbolism and Immigration.”
