Obama to Hire New National Cyber Adviser



The challenges facing Barack Obama have been well-documented (to say the least). One of the most important (and least publicized) of those challenges is fortifying the nation's cyber security. In response to the growing number of cyber-threats and challenges, both indigenous and foreign, Barack Obama will be hiring a national cyber advisor.

According to the agenda of Homeland Security, "The top item under protecting information networks is to strengthen leadership on cyber security by establishing a 'position of national cyber advisor who will report directly to the president and will be responsible for coordinating federal agency efforts and development of national cyber policy.'"

Here's hoping this administration backs up its tough talk with tough/nerdy action. [From: cnet.com]
