The Obama administration is urging agencies to think about cyber response with the same attention they bring to a natural disaster. To help them, the White House is clarifying what roles certain agencies play in a coordinated cybersecurity response.
Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-41, which the White House released July 26, more specifically describes how agencies will work together to respond to cyber incidents that could have a major impact on the nation and encourages information sharing with federal, state, local, and tribal mission partners as well as with the private sector.
