Federal agencies must avoid over-centralization and one-size-fits-all mandates when it comes to cybersecurity, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker told the President’s Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity during its Monday meeting.
“The Commerce Department cannot … meet its critical responsibilities without strong cybersecurity, so consider me very wary of any vast centralization effort that dilutes the authority of the secretary as a manager to hold my team — and my [cabinet] peers to hold their teams — accountable,” she said.
