The Office of Management and Budget’s six-month old cybersecurity oversight program is conducting a wider data-driven review of agency cybersecurity programs, according to Trevor Rudolph, chief of the Cyber and National Security Unit Office of E-Government and IT.
OMB formed the new E-Gov unit in February to oversee agency cybersecurity programs using the Cyberstat process under President Barack Obama’s 2016 budget plan. The process, Rudolph said, is helping shake out those agencies that need help implementing security programs like adhering to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) that mandates development and use of an interoperable smart ID card for civilian government employees and contractors. Agencies, he said, have had issues adopting the mandate.
