Former NSA executive director says that as national cyber director, he would “continue the good work ONCD has done with its partners.”

The advisory committee delivered a lengthy list of recommendations to CISA Director Jen Easterly on Wednesday.

The groups say the lack of a permanent cyber director will hinder efforts to implement the recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy.

The co-chairs of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission say a permanent director is needed to implement the national cybersecurity strategy.

A 30-year veteran of the NSA, Inglis has helped stand up a new office aimed to bring unity of effort to U.S. cybersecurity policy.

Inglis's trip reflects Japan's status as an increasingly important ally on cybersecurity, particularly as the administration focuses more on China.

National Cyber Director Chris Inglis defended the need for a "tough" strategy that compels industry to enhance cybersecurity protocols.

CISA Director Jen Easterly will meet with executives to craft a framework for cybersecurity incident reporting that doesn't "burden industry."

The national cyber director's office is leading the drafting of the document.
