An opportunity for Trump’s deregulation journey: Cybersecurity harmonization

The article argues that the incoming administration should use its deregulatory agenda to harmonize U.S. cybersecurity regulations to reduce duplication, lower compliance burdens, and improve security. It recommends (1) defining a clear harmonization goal and baseline or reciprocity approach, (2) empowering or creating an entity to coordinate agencies (e.g., ONCD, a new office, or statutory authority), and (3) engaging industry to ensure requirements are practical; the piece frames this as a bipartisan, efficiency-driven opportunity rather than a description of a cyber incident.
