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.
