If you thought President-elect Trump knew next to nothing about the Internet, hacking, or how cybersecurity works in general, then likely you'll feel he's about to be even less informed when former New York City Mayor (and Trump's current belligerent barking bosom buddy) Rudy Giuliani assumes his new role as the link between the Trump administration and Silicon Valley.

According to a CNET report today, Giuliani has been tapped to gather corporate leaders and tech pros for a series of meetings to discuss potential threats companies encounter and how these threats are handled. He believes the answers lie with the private sector.

"That's where we have the great creativity, that's where we have the huge amount of money, and that's where we have these great companies, the greatest in the world," Giuliani told Fox News, mimicking his bud's penchant for hyperbole.

While he'll be helping mold Trump's cybersecurity efforts and enlightening Trump's team on cybersecurity issues with his private sector cybersecurity group, it's these meetings that will theoretically bring the meat to the table when it comes to prompting decisions on how to proceed — assuming that the president will, indeed, be keeping an open ear and actually taking the cybersecurity group's suggestions to heart.

Giuliani has been the cybersecurity chair for the Greenberg Traurig law firm since last January. But this sounds like the blind leading the willfully blind, though I guess we should be relieved that Giuliani wasn't tapped for secretary of state or (god forbid) attorney general. Not that any of the actual candidates are much better...

Giuliani offered his two "keys to the future" in cybersecurity matters when he and BlackBerry CEO John Chen spoke with TechRepublic at CES 2017 last week. Peep the video below.
