The Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative

Abstract: 
The Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) delineates initiatives and goals to aid United States cyberspace security. CNCI includes funding within the federal law enforcement, intelligence, and defense communities to enhance key functions such as criminal investigation; intelligence collection, processing, and analysis; and information assurance critical to enabling national cybersecurity efforts. The CNCI was launched by President George W. Bush and supports President Barack Obama's President Cyberspace Policy Review. Enhanced information sharing (transparency) has been identified as a key component of effective cybersecurity. The predominant goals of the CNCI are the following: "(1) To establish a front line of defense against today’s immediate threats (2) To defend against the full spectrum of threats (3) To strengthen the future cybersecurity environment."
