Congress needs to step in on cybersecurity harmonization, White House official says

In an email to CyberScoop, Amy Chang, a senior fellow on cybersecurity and emerging threats at the right-leaning R Street Institute, said “more coherent messaging” on harmonization emerged at the hearing and in ONCD’s report than what has previously been communicated to the private sector. 

Going forward, Chang said ONCD and, to some extent, Congress, “must generate additional buy-in from regulators to be in favor of harmonization, and generate alignment in priorities and expectations with stakeholders such as policymakers, regulatory bodies, industry professionals, and cybersecurity experts.”
