Security by Design: Why We Need a Department of Cyber Infrastructure
Update: 2025-08-16
Description
The United States needs a dedicated Department of Cyber Infrastructure—a centralized executive-level body focused solely on safeguarding the nation’s digital backbone. Much like DHS was created post-9/11 to unify disparate agencies under a counterterrorism mandate, today’s cyber threats—from ransomware to foreign supply chain attacks—demand a coordinated federal response. Our current approach is fragmented and inadequate for the pace, scale, and complexity of cyber-physical convergence. This post argues for a reimagined structure that treats digital infrastructure as strategic infrastructure—vital, vulnerable, and in need of federal stewardship.
