Psychological Warfare in Cybersecurity

In the latest Distilling Cyber Policy podcast, Alex Botting and Jen Ellis from the Center for Cybersecurity Policy & Law are re-joined by guests from earlier this season: Lee Licata, Deputy Section Chief for National Security Data Risk at the Department of Justice (DOJ), and Grant Dasher, the Acting Technical Deputy Director for Cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).

Both came on to discuss the then-recently released Executive Order 14117 and the associated Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM). Since then, the DOJ issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), with written comments from the public due by November 29, 2024. Additionally, as directed by the EO, CISA has developed proposed security requirements to apply to classes of restricted transactions identified in the NPRM. In the episode, Lee and Grant dig into the proposed rule and security requirements, as well as the next steps in the rule making process.
