A senior Commerce Department official March 14 said the Obama administration should be ready soon to issue a new set of principles to guide legislative action on cybersecurity.

“I think we can get [a set of legislative principles] out the door soon,” Ari Schwartz, a senior policy adviser at the Commerce Department, said at a cybersecurity event sponsored by trade association USTelecom.

Despite a recent executive order addressing cybersecurity, the administration has been telling Congress that legislative action is still needed.
