Staking out separate policy development space, Congressional leaders began hearings and introduced legislation. The most significant – the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 – proposed major changes in current federal government approaches. The common starting point of all of these reform efforts is that current federal organization and current national cybersecurity policy is inadequate for the task of securing cyberspace.This article analyzes past federal reorganization efforts in response to the last technological revolution with serious national security implications – nuclear technology -- and the more recent response to homeland security. While much of the current cybersecurity debate leans toward radical reforming, we counsel an incremental approach to reorganization that builds on the hard work of the last decade combined with a genuine reconceptualization of the threat solution set.   a1547-7355
