On February 9, President Obama announced the creation of a Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity. Comprising 12 members and led by the Federal Chief Information Security Officer, the Commission "is tasked with making detailed recommendations on actions that can be taken over the next decade to enhance cybersecurity awareness and protections throughout the private sector and at all levels of Government, to protect privacy, to maintain public safety and economic and national security, and to empower Americans to take better control of their digital security." These efforts are part of the President's Cybersecurity National Action Plan—a multifaceted strategy aimed at strengthening federal cybersecurity, improving incident response, and enhancing infrastructure security and resilience.
