Is there any part of the U.S. government that is not looking to ramp up its involvement in cybersecurity issues? The latest organization to join the likes of the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Treasury, Federal Trade Commission, and National Institute of Standards and Technology in the quest to secure cyberspace is the Federal Communications Commission, whose chairman, Tom Wheeler, gave a speech at the American Enterprise Institute on June 12 outlining the need for a “new paradigm for cyber readiness.” There’s a cybersecurity turf war in the making for government departments and agencies, but no one seems to be offering concrete actions, steps, or plans for addressing these issues.
