CYBERSECURITY: Progress Made but Challenges Remain in Defining and Coordinating the Comprehensive National Initiative

Abstract

The White House and federal agencies have taken steps to plan and coordinate CNCI activities by establishing several interagency working groups. These include the National Cyber Study Group, which carried out initial brainstorming and information-gathering for the establishment of the initiative; the Communications Security and Cyber Policy Coordinating Committee, which presented final plans to the President and coordinated initial implementation activities; and the Joint Interagency Cyber Task Force, which serves as the focal point for monitoring and coordinating projects and enabling the participation of both intelligence-community and nonintelligence-community agencies. These groups have used a combination of status meetings and other reporting mechanisms to track implementation of projects.
