"Biden selects Harry Coker as national cyber director, bolstering cybersecurity efforts"

The Biden administration is expected to nominate Harry Coker, a former senior official at the CIA and NSA, as the next national cyber director, according to anonymous sources. If confirmed by the Senate, Coker would oversee the implementation of the administration's cybersecurity strategy and fill a vacancy that has existed for about five months. The Office of the National Cyber Director was created by Congress in 2021 to coordinate federal cybersecurity policy and advise the president. The previous national cyber director, Chris Inglis, stepped down in February, and his former deputy, Kemba Walden, has been serving in an acting capacity.
