Mike Waltz was the Trump administration's clearest voice that the biggest change in its cyber policy vs Biden's is a relative push toward offense vs defense, i.e focusing more on hacking China back than playing defense. I'd assume that's still the idea with him gone, but who knows.
It’s also a very easy policy to talk about and pretend you’re doing. Much harder as you know to actually do. But the get-out-of-jail card is you don’t have to account for it because you can say it’s all classified
It’s also avoidance of hard, but achievable, work in favor of the flashy and temporary
