President Obama is signaling that if Congress won’t act on cybersecurity legislation, he will implement elements he considers essential by executive order. That prospect gets mixed reviews from cybersecurity experts. The signal came after the failure of a cloture vote in the Senate last week to end debate on the Cybersecurity Act of 2012. The president has issued more than 130 executive orders so far, frequently invoking the mantra, “We can’t wait,” to defend his implementation of initiatives he supports that Congress rejects. The White House has supported its own cybersecurity legislation for more than a year.”]
