President Biden appoints 'global' cyber security team against hacking

President Biden is ramping up the importance of cybersecurity because of the SolarWinds hack that destroyed several state institutions. Reuters reported that Biden has appointed (and will soon appoint) an officer with expertise in cybersecurity. To begin with, the new White House has chosen the NSA's Anne Neuberger (shown above) for the newly created deputy national security adviser role in the National Security Council.

She is best known for being the leader of the NSA's Cyberdefense division and alerting companies about foreign hacker techniques.Other council additions include cybersecurity experts, including Michael Sulmeyer as Senior Cyber ​​Director, Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall. As a Homeland Security Advisor, Russ Travers is Deputy Homeland Security Adviser and Caitlin Durkovich as Senior Director of Resilience and Response.

The roles that โปรโมชั่น slotxo are going to fill up soon reflect a similar focus. The main candidate for the newly-formed national cyber director position is Morgan Stanley's current head of resilience, Jane Easter Lee, an Obama administration veteran and co-creator of the Biden cyber order. Nominated another Obama White House member, Rob Silvers, to direct the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Former President Trump fired previous CISA chief Chris Krebs after he indicated there was no evidence. That there is digital interference with the 2020 presidential election

This is a team of "global" cybersecurity experts, Microsoft Vice President Tom Burt said in a statement.The move is a big difference to the Trump administration, where cybersecurity is generally reduced. Although the previous government has leveraged the role of the cyber commando and helped establish an integrated cyber center to coordinate its response, the previous government has raised the bar. But it also reduced the role of the White House cybersecurity coordinator, demoted the State Department's digital diplomatic unit and fired Krebs.Trump himself falsely claimed that Russia had stopped cyberattacks and tried to change the blame. For the SolarWinds hack to China,

despite evidence that Russia was involved.The new team may do more to help the US both in responding to the SolarWinds incident and preventing future hacks. However, there are concerns that this may not be enough. Former Homeland Security's cyber director Amit Yoran warned that a "good balance" was needed between public and private backgrounds - and the designation of many as government alumni. Success is measured by the US's ability to protect against future hackers. But it's not sure how many new hires will bring fresh ideas to the table.
