Today the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency released a report, “Securing Cyberspace for the 44th President,” that includes recommendations for a comprehensive strategy to improve cybersecurity in federal systems and in critical infrastructure.
See the report here.
Keep in mind as you read this that these are high level recommendations. To fully implement will take significant planning and thoughtful leadership. However, none of the recommendations seemed to be unachievable. And it is about time cybersecurity, and the associated privacy issues, are seriously addressed by our government.
Overall, this is a good report, and a good read, and I hope the new administration implements most (optimistically all) of the recommendations.
