On April 30th, the Secrecy News blog posted a link to an updated Congressional Research Service report on cybersecurity.
That report, written by Rita Tehan and titled Cybersecurity: Authoritative Reports and Resources, is an extremely useful research tool for learning more about cybersecurity law and policy.
The report covered the following categories:
• “Legislation”
• “Hearings in the 112th Congress”
• “Executive Orders and Presidential Directives”
• “Data and Statistics”
• “Cybersecurity Glossaries”
• “Reports by Topic”
• Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports
• White House/Office of Management and Budget reports
• Military/DoD
• Cloud Computing
• Critical Infrastructure
• National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC)
• Cybercrime/Cyberwar
• International
• Education/Training/Workforce
• Research and Development (R&D)
• “Related Resources: Other Websites”
Tehan then created a number of tables which explore relevant authorities within those categories. For instance, Tehan created a table analyzing the major cybersecurity legislation offered in both the House and Senate and another table analyzing Executive Orders and Presidential Directives pertaining to cybersecurity, providing background details for each.
Again, a very useful research tool. You can find the CRS report Cybersecurity: Authoritative Reports and Resources here.
