Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency

The CSIS Cybersecurity Commission provided findings and recommendations to secure cyberspace in the 44th Presidency, and to help guide policy-making. It called for immediate action. The new administration has cybersecurity high on its agenda and it is making a serious effort to take what has already been done and improve our national cyber posture. But there is much to be done. Building cybersecurity will be a long-term effort.
Commission members produced a detailed report, "Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency," released on Capitol Hill on December 8, 2008.
