DHS Still Hasn't Named Cybersecurity Czar

Via UPI.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has still failed to appoint a cyber-security director after a delay of a year.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced the creation of a position for an assistant cyber security czar as part of a six-point agenda July 13, 2005. He identified elevating the position to an assistant Cabinet-level post as part of an overall strategy to "ensure that the department's policies, operations, and structures are aligned in the best way to address the potential threats -- both present and future." But a year later, that position remains unfilled, National Journal's Technology Daily reported Wednesday.
