Federal Cyber Security: Still No Answer

Submitted by admin on Wednesday, 23 September 2009No Comment

“While he was running for president, candidate Barack Obama promised to make cyber security a priority in his administration. So much for promises.

To his credit, President Obama has been working on this issue. In February, he commissioned a cyberspace policy review led by Melissa Hathaway. In May, Mr. Obama held a press conference to highlight the findings and recommendations of the final report drawn up by Hathaway’s team. He then pledged to follow its top recommendation and appoint a coordinator to oversee federal cyber security programs as soon as possible.

We’re still waiting. “
