White House cybersecurity coordinator Howard Schmidt will host a cybersecurity meeting Wednesday. Obama called for a comprehensive strategy for improving cybersecurity in May 2009. Obama also called for the development of a better cyber response capability and a bigger focus on building stronger public and private partnerships around cybersecurity. A key focus of the meeting is going to be on how to use economic incentives to stimulate and improve private sector cybersecurity, an ISA trade group president says. The White House memorandum clarifying the specific roles of the DHS, Office of Management and Budget and Schmidt’s office in cybersecurity matters was also a big step in the right direction, he says.”]
