Cybersecurity experts say the U.S. has fallen dangerously behind the state of the art in information security. They conclude that it would take a major and immediate shift in thinking, funding and collaboration to reverse a nearly decade-long decay in cyber readiness. There is no one federal agency designated as the lead for cybersecurity and that has led to years of infighting, turf wars and ugly public and private arguments about who is in charge of what. The disorganization also has been a major contributor to the Department of Homeland Security s inability to keep anyone in the top cybersecurity post.
