security policy and procedures as they relate to national security and securing critical infrastructure.

The review team was comprised of a cross-section of cyber security experts from government, academia

and industry. Their report, Cyberspace Policy Review: Assuring a Trusted and Resilient Information and Communications Infrastructure was released with recommendations that outline a new way forward
