There is more interest in what is occurring in technology companies that impact news. Such companies don't have the same sense of transparency about what they do. They have a tradition of secrecy about products, mores and decision-making that goes along with Silicon Valley and intellectual property and technology.

What we need to do is we need to create new international standards of behavior - not just national laws, because this is a global problem.

We have to create international standards that say that cyber attacks should only ever occur when it is absolutely necessary.
We have full disclosure in transparency of our audited, our financial audits. It's on our Web site. It is, I think 16 or 20- something pages, which most public companies or private companies and most ministries don't disclose.
