Former FBI CIO Urges 'Actionable' Cybersecurity Plan

Zal Azmi', the former CIO of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, wants to see the government develop and implement a comprehensive cybersecurity plan, he said in an interview last week. "Strategically, what we are lacking right now is an actionable game plan," said Azmi, who is now senior VP for government contractor CACI's cyber solutions group. "I have so many studies in my office that you wouldn't believe, but we need to be more focused. We need to put our heads together and get an actual plan going." There have been a number of government cybersecurity plans put forward over the last several years, including 2004's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and 2008's largely classified Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative. The plans have been gutted or otherwise disappeared off the public scene.
