Sure, the report covers security. There is a call for cybersecurity in the introductory letter signed by the co-chairs U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, U.S. Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra and the National Economic Councils Senior Advisor for Technology and Innovation Phil Weiser. But the chapter on cybersecurity is only two pages out of more than 100. Sure, privacy gets a section, too, but seriously? Two pages? On the same day that the U.S. Senate is hacked the latest in an unprecedented barrage of cybersecurity incidents the government doesnt have more to say about ipad bag blog of best sutudeg community the modern short domain names country security
