Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is about to testify today before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Govermental Affairs regarding the President's February 12 cybersecurity executive order. As I've mentioned in the past, the cybersecurity scene in Washington is a labyrinth and the recent EO only promises to make it much more so.
By my reckoning there are 15 government departments, agencies or offices responsible for implementing it, each to varying degrees. They are:
- Administrator of General Services
- Attorney General
- Department of Agriculture (Named via Sector Specific Agency references)
- Department of Commerce's NIST
- Department of Defense
- Department of Energy (Named via Sector Specific Agency references)
- Department of Health and Human Services (Named via Sector Specific Agency references)
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of the Treasury (Named via Sector Specific Agency references)
- Director of National Intelligence
- Environmental Protection Agency (Named via Sector Specific Agency references)
- Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council
- National Security Agency
- Office of Management and Budget
- Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board
- Chemical
- Commercial Facilities
- Communications
- Critical Manufacturing
- Dams
- Defense Industrial Base
- Emergency Services
- Energy
- Financial Services
- Food and Agriculture
- Government Facilities
- Healthcare and Public Health
- Information Technology
- Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste
- Transportation Systems
- Water and Wastewater Systems
