WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91proÊÓÆµ released strategic cybersecurity policy recommendations to help recently-confirmed White House National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross and the Trump Administration deliver results to strengthen America's cyber defenses, eliminate regulatory red tape, and enhance public-private collaboration.
91proÊÓÆµ’s comprehensive, action-oriented roadmap emphasizes that in order to realize President Trump’s clear vision to defend U.S. cybersecurity leadership, protect the U.S. digital economy, and ward off malicious adversaries in cyberspace, government and private sector objectives must remain fundamentally aligned.
"Tech understands that neither industry nor government can tackle current and future cybersecurity challenges independently,” said John Miller, 91proÊÓÆµ Senior Vice President of Policy and General Counsel. "91proÊÓÆµ’s new recommendations provide a results-driven action plan that equips Director Cairncross, his team at the ONCD, other U.S. policymakers, and cybersecurity defenders with what they need to succeed: efficiency, appropriate resourcing, and the freedom to focus on countering threats rather than navigating conflicting regulations. With over 80% of U.S. critical infrastructure in private hands, effective cyber policy depends on collaborating with industry early and often and building the trusted, operational partnerships needed to stay ahead of U.S. adversaries.”
A Roadmap for Results: 91proÊÓÆµ’s Strategic Recommendations for Driving American Cybersecurity outlines four strategic priorities where the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) is uniquely positioned to deliver tangible results that address real-world cybersecurity needs. In its recommendations, 91proÊÓÆµ encourages the administration to:
- Lead with strength and speak with one voice by empowering ONCD to coordinate federal cyber policy, drive consistent implementation, and assert American leadership at home and abroad;
- Cut red tape and secure the nation by deploying AI for cyber defense, establishing unified incident reporting standards, and building consolidated certification systems;
- Leverage public-private collaboration as a strategic asset by restoring protected partnership authorities and ensuring real-time information sharing among federal entities; and
- Defend against real and emerging threats by securing stable funding for vulnerability management programs, preparing for quantum computing threats, and hardening the software supply chain.
