The Cybersecurity 202: It might be time for a grand cybersecurity policy – if Trump’s on board
Sen. Angus King on right, before the start of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing concerning the roles and responsibilities for defending the nation against cyber attacks, October 19, 2017.
The commission comes with a lot of political heft. Among its 14 members, there are four executive branch leaders and four lawmakers who represent both parties in the House and Senate. It also has the benefit of good timing — coming when lawmakers and the public are more focused on cybersecurity threats than they were before because of Russian intervention in the 2016 election and a cavalcade of data breaches.
But turning the commission’s big ideas into government policy will require a lot of support and coordination from the top. And it’s not clear the Trump White House — which has focused mostly on projecting toughness in cyberspace and eliminated the position of White House cybersecurity coordinator — is interested in that role.
“Something needs to be done. This White House isn’t going to do it, so maybe the commission can,” said Bobby Chesney, a former Justice Department official who directs the Center for International and Security Law at the University of Texas at Austin.
