October 03, 2005Lazowska on Cyber Security and the Failure of the AdministrationBen Worthen has a great interview with former President's IT Advisory Committee co-Chair Ed Lazowska in CIO Magazine in which Lazowska, freed from his role as presidential advisor after the President allowed PITAC's charter to expire, pulls no punches describing the failure of the Administration to adequately support and prioritize cyber security research and development. Here's a snippet: [Lazowska:] Long-range R&D has always been the role of the national government. And the trend, despite repeated denials from the White House to the Department of Defense, has decreased funding for R&D. And of the R&D that does get funded, more and more of it is on the development side as opposed to longer-range research, which is where the big payoffs are in the long term. That's a more fundamental problem that CIOs aren't responsible for.There's also a great sidebar: Blame the Internet And the main editorial for the issue: Who Owns Security? All worth the read.
