Despite my best efforts to come up with a brilliant "Thought leadership" piece on what I think the Biden Administration should do, the best answer has already been written and published in March of 2020 as the 2020 Cyberspace Solarium Commission Report.
Co-chaired by Senator Angus King and Representative Mike Gallagher, the bipartisan Cyberspace Solarium Commission proactively scrutinized U.S. cybersecurity in much the same way the 2004 9/11 Commission Report reactively assessed failings within the U.S. Intelligence Community and offered recommendations for sweeping changes.
The Cyberspace Solarium Commission, just as the 9/11 Commission before it, made bold recommendations for significant changes that I believe President Biden will likely use as the blueprint for restructuring how America operates in cyberspace.
"Defend Forward" - The Commission posited that the U.S. "Has not created a credible and sufficient costs" for malicious cyber operations.
The newly minted NCD will likely have a heavy hand in developing the National Cyber Strategy and then be expected to serve as the single voice uniting the messages of US Cyber Command, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and every agency across the U.S. Intelligence Community on all things cyber.
