White House group approves report calling for new cybersecurity committee

The U.S. National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee approved a report on Wednesday that calls for a new White House council for long-term cybersecurity.

Why it matters: Lawmakers tend to legislate solutions to problems that impact the next election, but many cybersecurity issues — such as the impending chaos that will be caused by quantum computing and quantum encryption, as highlighted in the report — can't be handled on two-, four- or six-year cycles.
