Fix Cyber Governance Before Creating a Cyber Force, Argues Navy Officer (warontherocks.com)

• Gillibrand amendment to create cyber service failed by one Senate vote.
• House bill Section 1502 mandates a single accountable official for DoD network security.
• Senate proposes new Undersecretary for Cyber, Information, and Networks.

"A U.S. Navy officer argues the debate over a separate Cyber Force is misplaced, as governance and accountability deficits are the core problem. He cites the failed Gillibrand amendment, the House's Section 1502 for a single accountable official, and the Senate's proposal for an Undersecretary of Defense for Cyber, Information, and Networks. He warns that creating a new service before resolving who owns cyberspace will entrench fragmentation."
