Bill Forthcoming To Move Cybersecurity From Homeland Security To White House
Forthcoming legislation would wrest cybersecurity responsibilities from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and transfer them to the White House, a proposed move that likely will draw objections from industry groups and some conservatives.

CNET News has obtained a summary of a proposal from Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) that would create an Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, part of the Executive Office of the President. That office would receive the power to disconnect, if it believes they’re at risk of a cyberattack, “critical” computer networks from the Internet.

The bill could also make the proposed cyber adviser responsible for conducting a quadrennial review of the country’s cybersecurity program, as well as for working with the State Department to develop international standards for improving cybersecurity.
