What the White House Should Do Next for Cyber Regulation

The document argues that the White House should direct the Office of the National Cyber Director to develop a formal cyber-regulation strategy and create a dedicated office to coordinate and harmonize cybersecurity rules across agencies. Citing a wave of recent U.S. regulatory actions (including CIRCIA, maritime cybersecurity requirements, telecom breach reporting, IoT labeling, DoD CMMC, HUD incident reporting, Commerce IaaS rules, and EPA/CMS efforts), it emphasizes the political sensitivity and complexity of regulation and calls for a roadmap, mutual recognition, and performance tracking to improve security, reduce costs, and ensure continuity across administrations.
