The Threat Landscape is diverse, the best practices are changing, the information you get may not always be reliable. The task can seem overwhelming and the stakes are high. In this context, i have found myself thinking effective cybersecurity cannot move at, quote, the speed of government. By that i mean cybersecurity is a 21st century Public Policy program just not manageable by 20th century government means.

Congress needs to make sure that the governments role in detecting and responding to cyberattacks is clearly defined, that theyre focused first and foremost on the security of federal information networks.
