The White House will soon release the next steps for the litany of initiatives first released last July, ONCD’s Brian Scott said Tuesday.

In response to the watchdog’s report, the Office of the National Cyber Director said that performance measures don't really exist in the cybersecurity field.

Chris DeRusha said protecting critical infrastructure is a top priority as the Biden administration updates plans for achieving its cybersecurity objectives.

The plan outlines major goals and nine objectives the agency has for the next three years to make improvements to U.S. digital defenses.

The Biden administration noted that department and agencies are expected to follow the recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy.

The strategy represents a shift in how Washington approaches cybersecurity, veering toward a more strictly regulated approach.

The national cyber director's office is leading the drafting of the document.
