Biden Administration Announces Picks for Top Cybersecurity Posts

The Biden administration announced its intent to name a former senior National Security Agency official as the first national cyber director and another former NSA official to head the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency. The planned nomination of former NSA deputy director Chris Inglis ends months of speculation about whom the Biden administration would appoint to the White House position, and it comes after bipartisan pressure from lawmakers to fill the job they created in legislation that passed in December.
