President Barack Obama will address cybercrime in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Jan. 20. Obama may discuss $25 million in grants to develop IT security education programs at post-secondary institutions and steps to foster greater cooperation between the public and private sector around sharing data about security breaches. Obama will need to strike the right balance between efforts to thwart cyberattacks such as the one perpetrated against Sony Pictures and respecting Americans fears of surveillance by law enforcement agencies.
