The Obama administration will spend about $20 million on a new White House cyber unit to oversee dot-gov network security, including, for the first time, making sure agencies notify victims of breaches according to a specific timetable.
The “E-gov Cyber” division, housed within the Office of Management and Budget, is aimed at making clear OMB’s role in governmentwide cybersecurity: policymaking and enforcement.
