National Cyber Incident Response Plan Coming

“In wide ranging testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, some of the federal government’s top cybersecurity authorities said that the status quo in federal cybersecurity is not sufficient. They discussed plans to improve cyber defenses, including a new comprehensive National Cyber Incident Response Plan to delineate duties in case of a major cyber attack.

‘There is a comprehensive strategy, but it’s not a one-pronged strategy,’ said Philip Reitinger, deputy under secretary of the national protection and programs directorate and director of the National Cyber Security Center at the Department of Homeland Security. ‘There’s no silver bullet. Broadly, we need to up our defensive game.’ “
