WASHINGTON: The Biden administration today announced its intent to nominate John Chris Inglis as America’s first national cybersecurity director and Jen Easterly to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Inglis is a former deputy director at the National Security Agency. He is expected to be confirmed by Congress. In the newly created position, he will join the White House’s current cybersecurity team, which includes NSA veteran Anne Neuberger, the first deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology.
The national cybersecurity director position was recommended by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission and created by the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, which became law on Jan. 1. The administration’s delay in nominating someone for the position has created tension between the White House and Congress in recent months.
