Obama Creates Cyber Panel, Says Long-Term Vigilance Needed
President Barack Obama on Wednesday appointed his former national security adviser, Tom Donilon, to lead a new commission on cybersecurity that will make detailed recommendations on how the nation should better protect itself against computer attacks.
Donilon will serve as chairman of the Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity. Obama will appoint former IBM chief executive Sam Palmisano to serve as vice chairman. Their task, Obama said, is to produce a report by Dec. 1 that will guide future presidents on the infrastructure necessary to confront long-term computer challenges.
Obama said the Internet has brought incredible opportunity and wealth, but it also means "that more and more of our lives are being downloaded."
