Preventing Another San Bernardino

The Cipher Brief reached out to Jayson Ahern, a principal at the Chertoff Group, to get his thoughts on what it will take to prevent another attack like the one we saw this week in San Bernardino, CA. Ahern, who previously served in senior positions at the Department of Homeland Security, discussed the challenges law enforcement faces, the U.S. government’s outreach to Muslim communities, and a community-based approach to preventing gun violence.

The Cipher Brief: We still don’t know the motive behind the attack in San Bernardino. If a link to terrorism is established, what does this attack tell you about the changing nature of the homeland threat? What more do law enforcement and the Intelligence Community need to do to prevent these types of plots?
