Computer Security Awareness Training

President Barack Obama directed his security advisers this month to conduct a review of the governments ‘cybersecurity’ programs, plans, and activities.
This interagency review is expected to develop a framework that will ensure future cybersecurity efforts are integrated and coordinated with both Congress and the private sector.

With a 60-day deadline, Melissa Hathaway, the new acting director for cyberspace for the National Security and Homeland Security Councils, will be leading the review. She has previously served under the Director of National Intelligence and played a key roll in coordinating the current Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.

According to James Jones, Obama’s national security adviser, the National Security Council (NSC) will be placing a higher priority on cybersecurity than on their capacity to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
