Cybersecurity Panel Enters New Phase

The Center for Strategic and International Studies' Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency has begun examining "foundational problems" that are key to fixing the nation's security vulnerabilities with the goal of releasing recommendations this year, Microsoft Vice President Scott Charney said.
