President Obama has declared that the “cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation” and that “America\'s economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity.” As a result, the President directed a top-to-bottom review of the Federal Government\'s efforts to defend our information and communications infrastructure, which resulted in a report titled the Cyberspace Policy Review. To implement the results of this review, the President has appointed Howard Schmidt to serve at the U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator and created the Cybersecurity Office within the National Security Staff, which works closely with the Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra, the Federal Chief Technology ,Officer Aneesh Chopra and the National Economic Council. http://www.whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity
