COMING ATTRACTIONS — DHS will use its upcoming cybersecurity summit to reassert its leadership role in federal cyber efforts, a senior department official said in an interview. “We will launch at least three noteworthy new ideas and initiatives” with 90-day timelines for producing results, Christopher Krebs, the under secretary of DHS’s cyber wing, the National Protection and Programs Directorate, said on the inaugural episode of CyberCast, a new cybersecurity podcast co-hosted by Kiersten Todt and Roger Cressey. One announcement at the July 31 event in New York will focus on supply chain security, as part of DHS’s effort to reframe how it approaches cyber risk management. The department will also encourage a greater focus on the security of industrial control systems. Krebs called these utility control networks “a space from a risk perspective that needs quite a bit of attention.”
