Achieving National Unity of Effort in Cyber

Abstract

Information is a foundation of power enabling national security, prosperity and cultural values for all nations. As such, significant national discussion is underway regarding the threats, risks and vulnerabilities of the national and global Cyber infrastructure, especially given recent events. Unfortunately, current U.S. national strategies regarding Cyber lack clarity on ways to achieve national goals. And, consequently, national U.S. efforts in Cyber suffer from a lack of focus and leadership. While the military is re-organizing its Cyber forces, the time has come to create a civilian led Federal Cyber Administration to focus national efforts, expand the National Security Administration authorities for the Federal Critical Infrastructure using the North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) model, and create a National Cyberspace Safety Board.
