As The Hill reports, lawmakers and other officials are pushing the White House to name a national cyber director. The Senate-confirmed role, which includes a 75-person staff, was left without a nominee more than 50 days into Joe Biden’s presidency.

The cyber czar role was established by the latest National Defense Authorization Act, which took effect January 1. The position holds more power than the previous White House cyber coordinator job, which the Trump administration abolished.

Michael Daniel, head of the Cyber Threat Alliance and a former Obama administration cyber coordinator, told The Hill that Biden needs to appoint the people who develop and implement policy proposals. “The Administration deserves credit for prioritizing filling cybersecurity positions, but it needs to press forward with filling the remaining positions as expeditiously as possible,” Daniel said.

The White House has been undertaking a 60-day review of the cyber czar job and its structure and sees filling the role as “a priority,” according to an administration official quoted by The Hill.
