Finally! A Cybersecurity Safety Review Board is a new article by Steve Bellovin and myself at Lawfare.

One element of President Biden’s executive order on cybersecurity establishes a board to investigate major incidents involving government computers in somewhat the way that the National Transportation Safety Board investigates aviation disasters.

But we think that additional action is needed and will magnify the value the board offers.
