In a wide-ranging interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA 2014, Daniel addresses:

  • Balancing privacy and civil liberties with IT security;
  • Prospects for a national data breach notification law; and
  • Improving cyberthreat information sharing between the government and private sector.

Daniel came out of near obscurity - he was serving as intelligence branch chief in the White House Office of Management and Budget - when President Obama tapped him in May 2012 to secede Howard Schmidt as special assistant to the president and cybersecurity coordinator (see: Who is Michael Daniel?).
