Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and 18 other senators have urged John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, to retain the cybersecurity coordinator position at the White House.

The lawmakers told Bolton in a letter published Wednesday they believe eliminating the role would prevent the government from presenting a unified effort against foreign threat actors who target cyber-based U.S. infrastructure.

The letter came after Bolton endorsed the removal of the post.

“Our country’s cybersecurity should be a top priority; therefore, it is critically important that the U.S. government present a unified front in defending against cyberattacks,” the senators wrote.

Reps. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., and Ted Lieu, D-Calif., introduced a bill that would establish a national office for cyber space and make the cybersecurity coordinator function permanent at the White House.

The Energy Department has released a report that assesses the risk of cyber threats to the U.S. power grid.

DOE said Wednesday the report “Assessment of Electricity Disruption Incident Response Capabilities” was prepared in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive order that aims to build up the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and federal networks.

The report details and classifies gaps in capabilities and assets in seven categories and those include cyber-related situational awareness and incident impact analysis; integration of cybersecurity into state energy assurance planning; electric cyber workforce; data sharing between public and private sectors; and supply chain and trusted partners.

DOE noted that the U.S. is well-prepared to handle disruptions to electricity and its efforts to protect the electric grid from cyber threats fall within planning; incident response; exercises and training; and information sharing.

The analysis also cited factors that may affect the power industry’s capability to respond to power outages caused by cyber incidents, including no-notice events that preclude the electricity subsector from initiating pre-emptive measures and unpredictable system responses.

The Office of Management and Budget has released a new report that details four key measures needed to address cybersecurity threats across the federal government.

OMB said in the risk report that federal agencies should increase their cyber threat awareness through the implementation of the Cyber Threat Framework as well as enhance asset management by standardizing information technology and cyber capabilities.

The two other core actions call for the consolidation of security operations centers to facilitate incident detection and response operations and efforts to promote accountability through risk assessments and governance processes, according to the Federal Cybersecurity Risk Determination Report and Plan.

OMB teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security to evaluate the risk management performance of 96 agencies across 76 metrics and found that 74 percent of them have cyber programs that are classified as “high risk” or “at risk.”

OMB and DHS also found that agencies lack the capability to assess how threat actors gain access to their data and information systems.

OMB issued the risk report in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order on cybersecurity.
