The White House’s cybersecurity panel says that it wants to collect more input from the IT industry. The panel’s recommendations, expected today, will be available for public comment for two months. During this time, technology companies will be able to submit their suggestions.
The cybersecurity panel has already dropped a number of proposals contained in previous drafts, following intense lobbying by the industry.
A proposed measure, requiring companies to contribute to a fund in order to improve national computer security restricting the use of wireless networks until their security is approved, was abandoned, according to the Associated Press.
A spokeswoman for the White House characterised the cybersecurity plan as “a living document” and said that all parties involved will be consulted before the final release.
