US President-elect Donald Trump urged to bolster nation's cybersecurity

WASHINGTON: A national commission is delivering urgent recommendations to improve the nation's cybersecurity, weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.


The report follows the worst hacking of US government systems in history and the Obama administration accusing Russia of meddling in the US presidential election by hacking Democrats.


The Presidential Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity is spelling out actions the US can take over the next five to 10 years.


The White House requested the report in February and intended it to serve as a transition memo for the next president. The commission included 12 of what the White House described as the brightest minds in business, academia, technology and security. It was led by Tom Donilon, Obama's former national security adviser.
