A new national cybersecurity strategy, an update on landmark cyber incident-reporting rules and the development of a new artificial intelligence security collaboration group are all in the pipeline for the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n

Trump administration officials discussed a range of cyber policy updates at the Information Technology Industry Council\u2019s Intersect Summit in Washington on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The four remaining pillars include securing and modernizing the federal government; securing critical infrastructure; maintaining dominance in emerging technologies; and mitigating the cyber skills and workforce gap, Cairncross explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn each of those different pillars, we have various lines of effort, many of which are underway right now,\u201d he said. \u201cI only have so much time in this job, and any administration is time-limited. And so what we are…<\/p>\n
