Breaking Defense: US tech firms should wargame response if China invades Taiwan, warns NSA cybersecurity chief
"You don't want to be starting that planning the week before an invasion, when you're starting to see the White House saying it's coming,” said NSA’s Rob Joyce. “You want to be doing that now.”
WASHINGTON — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year sent American tech firms scrambling to shore up their operations, especially those with workers in danger zones.

They had Russian or Ukrainian sysadmins [systems administrators], and they had to think about what privileges they wanted them to have. They had network segments in Russia or Ukraine and they had to think about whether they severed that or firewalled that. They had to think about whether they just pulled all the way out of their Russian businesses and what the implications were.”
