How can we defeat “the enemy” if we can’t get along?

From Dr. Steven Brown | October 13th, 2009

Politics is a way of life it seems, but sometimes we need to remove the politics and turf wars that do not nothing to help the security of the United States.  Good and continued leadership is critical to run any organization, but with the Government’s cybersecurity program, leadership – it seems – keeps turning over.  The latest person to leave states "bureaucratic obstacles and a lack of authority to fulfill her mission." (Read Another U.S. Cybersecurity Official Resigns).

There’s a big difference between authority and responsibility, the Government cannot give a department the responsibility to protect us, without the authority to do so.

Please feel free to comment.

Dr. Steven Brown
