amanfromMars [2202031951] …….. suggests a well tried and successfully tested and attractive quite old root on https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2022/2/3/major-cyber-attacks-not-the-new-normal
Gentry. Hi,
Deterrence by serial reward which delivers a former, more able enemy even as a temporarily inactive frenemy/phantom rogue star consultant in the contested genre, is a strategy worth trying ….. and it is not as if it is not already well known and oft employed by Uncle Sam with adversaries they find it practically impossible to defeat by offence alone in alien fields of contact and conflict.
A pallet/planeload of Benjamins can buy all manner of fantastic wonders ….. and it’s not as if they are expensive to produce, is it.
Keep it sublimely simple and even the most complex of things can be easily achieved until other conflicting priorities require an adjustment/alternative mutually beneficial, positively reinforcing arrangement.
And it should be pointed out, to be constantly remembered and never forgotten, to any and all who have a very good reason to know, the cyber domain is not at all like any other theatre of public/private/military engagement and it does not respond conventionally to any traditional type activities/sanctions, nor does it suffer the fool and their follies.

Yasmin, Greetings to You,
There is at least one very particular and peculiar problem for the Defense Industrial Base which it is their vital interests to address/overcome/ignore, and that is any requirement which excludes foreigners/non United States nationals from leading and/or being instrumental in supplying Uncle Sam with what is apparently missing but absolutely essential to deliver an overwhelming advantage in any contested theatre of present or future engagement with such novel weaponry/proprietary intellectual property as comfortably exercise and demonstrate capabilities, abilities and facilities for the field advantage afforded by an omnipotent presence of an omniscient nature.
Such may not be possible from, nor available in, home grown stock/native assets. However, it can be abundant and overflowing in others elsewhere.
That is a catastrophic national emergency situation and/or whenever under constant relentless attack from rabid inquisitive foe and envious covetous enemy alike enabled to wield hypersonic weapons and silent methodologies in foreign assaults for which there is zero effective US defense system, is there really only one viable option to rapidly take.
The DIB leadership/elite executive office is then required to take a quantum leap which is no small mean step, and would be also instrumental in pioneering for solutions master piloting novel programs and future projects, with a bold attractive premium foreign party* invite to provide what they are able to seed and feed against such foreign assaults to the greater benefit of Uncle Sam ….. and that may be as simple and effective as there being a tacit virtual agreement/memorandum of practical understanding that certain novel weaponry/proprietary intellectual property be safe and securely stored and not made freely available for any parties use and abuse or misuse.
Or, if it be absolutely necessary, its free and abandoned use against offensive foreign parties.
* One assumes that with all of the global communications snooping/surveillance that is supposedly going on to achieve Peace and Order throughout Conflict and CHAOS, Madness and Mayhem, via a Total Information Awareness State Ordnance, such premium foreign parties/subjects of national/international security interest are well enough known to status quo forces and therefore very easily immediately contactable. However, should contact not be made with that which should be contacted, one can quite rightly assume that necessary vital national intelligence is certainly still missing and the presumed mass global surveillance state is a contrived myth trying to both intimidate and prevent and control the free escape of sensitive information highlighting systemic vulnerabilities and weaknesses easily exploited for wider gains ……. and all of that exacerbates and further complicates the emergency situation problem for Uncle Sam.

The Pentagon/Defense Industrial Base has a similar problem to resolve …….

Re: Why not?
Can’t the NSA just push the patches through their backdoor? ….HildyJ
The fact that they [NSA] can’t, or if we be generous and suggest that they won’t, tells one and all everything they need to know about the impotence of the NSA in such fields of virtual endeavour which some systems would claim to be of a vital nature for the exclusive success of their business.
No shades of grey in that revelation which is more than just suggesting that unholy emperor [NSA] has no clothes.
