The political public debate over U.S. cybersecurity policy over the last few years has produced chilling sound bites like "electronic Pearl Harbor," "digital Armageddon," and even "cyber 9/11."  And despite the clarion calls for "action" that inevitably flow from these phrases, such heated rhetoric does not lend itself to nuanced and focused policymaking.  Perhaps that's why I found my attention riveted on the keynote address given by Scott Charney, vice president, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing at the Business Software Alliance cybersecurity conference on April 30th.

In his speech, Charney proceeded to peel back the layers on the disconnect among the various stakeholders within the cybersecurity community, what they need, and how to get it, in the most level-headed analysis of the cybersecurity landscape that I've heard in a long time.

Alexander’s appointment as the first U.S. Cyber Command commander, officially establishing the initial operating capability for the new command.  The announcement comes immediately following Alexander’s promotion to receive his fourth star during a ceremony at Fort Meade, Md.

Given our increasing dependency on cyberspace, this new command will bring together the resources of the department to address vulnerabilities and meet the ever-growing array of cyber threats to our military systems,” said Gates.
