Transition Book for the Incoming Biden Administration

This white paper is intended to provide a guide for the incoming Biden-Harris administration, identifying possible early policy achievements and suggesting priorities for action over the coming months and years.

Within the first 100 days of taking office, the Biden-Harris administration can set in motion three processes that will elevate cybersecurity as an imperative across the government and put the United States on a path toward reducing the probability and impact of cyberattacks against it:

1. Establish the Office of the National Cyber Director,

2. Develop and promulgate a National Cyber Strategy, and

3. Improve the coherence and impact of existing government cybersecurity efforts and further strengthen partnerships with the private sector.
