   As Russian missiles rain on Ukraine, there's another battle brewing --   
   in the cybersphere. Destructive malware has flooded hundreds of   
   Ukrainian websites and computers since Vladimir Putin announced his   
   invasion. It would be a mistake to assume such attacks will remain   
   limited to Ukrainian targets.   
      
   Last week President Biden warned Mr. Putin against Russian   
   cyberattacks on United States critical infrastructure. But American   
   businesses aren't ready for a war in cyberspace. Although Mr. Biden   
   designated the Department of Homeland Security to lead what he vowed   
   would be a forceful response to any such aggression, this isn't   
   enough. The D.H.S. doesn't have the legal authority to order the   
   private sector to follow its lead. More broadly, the federal   
   government, even if warned by companies like Microsoft of incoming   
   cyberattacks, doesn't have the necessary infrastructure in place to   
   protect American businesses from many of these attacks.
