Over at the Identity Theft Assistance Center (ITAC) blog, they’ve made note of the continuing delay in the Obama administration’s much anticipated release of its review of U.S. Cybersecurity.  ITAC hopefully proffers that the report may see the light of day this week.

As ITAC reports – based on a piece published by Federal Computer Week – the most recent delay in the report is being attributed to the outbreak of Swine Flu.

I fear if the report has actually been delayed because of this very mild outbreak of flu, that does not bode well for how the federal government is prioritizing cybersecurity.

There will always be competing emergencies on multiple fronts that the administration will have to juggle.  Cybersecurity can no longer take a back seat to any other priorities.  To do so, is to imperil this country even more than it already is.
