White House cyber security adviser post remains unfilled
Posted on | August 31, 2009 | add a comment
Expectations ran high after President Obama’s historic May 29th speech, in which the President outlined his framework for a national policy on cyber security, directed by a White House special adviser. But three months later the adviser has not yet been named.
Threat Post blogger Dennis Fisher does a good job analyzing the variables in play — and underscoring that stakes at risk — in this post. It’s well worth reading.
Dennis’ recent podcast interview with Amit Yoran, former director of the National Cyber Security Division at DHS and CEO of NetWitness, supplies the backdrop.
