Collaboration, Organization and Training Must Top 45th US President’s Cyber Security Agenda
While the US presidential campaign has occasionally focused on cyber security, the topic demands more urgent attention from the individual elected as the 45th President of the United States, according to leading cyber security and business technology association ISACA.
In an opinion column published in The Hill, ISACA recommends that cyber security be a significant component of the next president’s 100-day agenda, especially given its overlap with geopolitical and economic issues. Bolstering the US cyber approaches and responses is essential for critical infrastructure, national defense operations, and ultimately the US and global economies.
In the article, Theresa M. Grafenstine, CPA, CISA, CGEIT, CRISC, CIA, CGAP, CGMA, ISACA Vice Chair of the Board and Inspector General, US House of Representatives, outlines five top critical cyber security priorities that need to receive ample attention in the first 100 days of the 45th President’s new administration:
- Bringing Order to Cyber Security Across All Levels of American Government. An essential priority in the first 100 days must be for the new president to work with Congress to take a more holistic approach to address the ever-shifting threats present in the country’s cyber security landscape.
- Until now, regulatory and enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels have been addressing cyber security issues with limited coordination and in piecemeal fashion, creating challenges for executing defense and response measures.
