Unfortunately, National Cyber Director is an unhelpful distraction. The idea that nominating a single person for an office that Congress hasn’t even bothered to fund yet will make a difference in confronting our nation’s numerous cyber challenges is ridiculous 1/4

We have a person in the White House who has been incredibly empowered to solve these problems. Her name is Anne Neuberger and she has a newly created and extraordinarily powerful role on the NSC as Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber 2/4

I wish someone would tell me at least one thing that people think NCD would do that Anne can’t do in her (arguably much more powerful) role? 3/4

Let’s drop this foolish inside-the-beltway discussion about NCD and focus on what truly matters - executive and legislative actions that can address the challenges we face 4/5

The upcoming cyber EO from the administration with its focus on software supply chain to the government, breach reporting, increased security standards for government agencies is a great and very important step in that direction 5/5
