Do you think a cabinet position to represent technology and its related effects – such as cybersecurity – is necessary?

Daniel, I’m not sure that I think that a cabinet level position is necessary. And the reason is that cyber runs through everything that we do as a government. So, it’s really hard to segregate it out. In fact, I think one of the things we’re learning as we enter this new cyber arena is that segregating it into an IT or IT function no longer is adequate. Again, as my remarks suggested, cyber is part of everything we do, from the most basic transaction to complicated security protections of our country. So what we need to do is make sure that cyber is part of our thinking in all departments. But added to that now, the president has included a chief technology officer, a chief information officer, in the White House, and he will be appointing a coordinator for cyber within the White House to help make sure that cyber is part of all that we do throughout the vast array of the federal government as we move forward.
