Who should manage US Cyber Security?
This question of U.S. Cyber Security oversight has been a hot topic this year. Rod Beckstrom’s resignation earlier this year centered on criticism that NSA played too large a role in the national cybersecurity effort. Following this, the NSA Director stated that he did not want sole responsibility for running U.S. cyber security.
At the RSA security conference in San Francisco, NSA Director Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander focused on the need for a group effort rather than a centrally managed operation, while the President’s response to the Cybersecurity Report spoke of the need for a new centralized position to oversee the joint efforts. It will be interesting to see what approach is taken, if one is committed to, in the upcoming year.
