White House Cybersecurity Drama Continues

A report currently being prepared on the state of federal cybersecurity may, or may not, call for the creation of a White House level cybersecurity director, Computer World recently reported. The report is being prepared for President Obama by Melissa Hathaway, acting senior cybersecurity director as part of a 60-day review of cybersecurity.

The issue has been a bone of contention among advocates of a cabinet-level cybersecurity czar and those who see the issue as part of the responsbilities of the NSA.
