National Cybersecurity Strategy to Incorporate Evaluation Criteria from White House
The Biden administration is taking a significant step towards strengthening the nation's cybersecurity infrastructure by adopting a data-driven approach, as announced by the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD). Led by Chris Inglis, the ONCD is working on a comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy that aims to provide a better understanding of the nation's ability to deter and respond to malicious cyberattacks.
According to Dylan Presman, the administration's strategy involves tracking cybersecurity performance metrics to support decisions for budgets and spending. This approach is crucial, as Presman emphasises, for prioritising resources and funding appropriately without understanding the impact of cybersecurity responses on national performance.
The ONCD has identified four levels of accountability: federal cohesion, public and private partnerships, aligning resources to aspirations, and enhancing resilience. The goal is to illustrate the progress of both the government and private sector towards a resilient and secure digital infrastructure.
Inglis has recently travelled overseas to meet with foreign allies to discuss efforts by the Biden administration to strengthen the nation's cybersecurity infrastructure. The search results do not provide information about which Western governments he visited.
Presman states that the administration is working to reframe the conversation about government policy and technological policy for the greater good. The ONCD wants to shift the focus of the cybersecurity discussion from how to thwart adversaries to what cybersecurity can help achieve.
Presman asserts that dictators and criminals have often been able to manipulate the promise of the internet to their advantage. To counter this, the administration aims to reexamine the paradigm of a hands-off approach to the internet.
Incorporating performance measurements is part of a larger strategy by the Biden administration to develop a more cohesive and resilient cyber infrastructure. The ONCD will incorporate this data-driven approach as part of the national cybersecurity strategy, using cyber performance data to understand where future investments in cybersecurity are needed.
The White House Office of the National Cyber Director's new strategy is a significant move towards a more secure digital future, focusing on accountability, partnership, and performance-based decision making.
