White House cyber director confirmed in Senate

Posted on December 12, 2023 by Dissent

Martin Matishak reports:

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Harry Coker to be the country’s next cybersecurity czar, installing the former NSA official as President Joe Biden’s top cyber adviser at a time when the administration is working to revamp the nation’s digital posture.

As the new head of the Office of the National Cyber Director, Coker will coordinate federal agencies’ patchwork efforts on cybersecurity issues and oversee the execution of the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy.

The Senate confirmed Coker on a 59-40 vote weeks after the Homeland Security Committee unanimously approved his nomination. He previously served as NSA executive director and spent 17 years at the Central Intelligence Agency.
