Comments are sought from all stakeholders, including the commercial, academic and civil society sectors, on measures to improve cybersecurity while sustaining innovation.
The Task Force aims to identify public policies and private-sector norms that can (1) promote conduct by firms and consumers that collectively will sustain growth in the Internet economy and improve the level of security of the infrastructure and online environment that support it; (2) enhance individual and collaborative efforts by those actors who are in the best position to assist firms and their customers in addressing cybersecurity challenges; (3) improve the ability of firms and consumers to keep pace with ever-evolving cybersecurity risks; and (4) promote individual privacy and civil liberties.
Commerce then intends to issue a report that will contribute to the Administration’s domestic and international policies and activities in advancing both cybersecurity and the Internet economy.
Commerce states that comments will be posted at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/internetpolicytaskforce and http://csrc.nist.gov.
