Last week, Stewart Baker at Skating on Stilts described the leaked draft Executive Order on Cybersecurity (which he had not seen) as "focused."  Maybe so, but at 19 pages it seems rather less so to me.  I'll have more analysis when I have a chance to read this, but for now I am pleased to share with you a pre-decisional copy of the Draft Executive Order on Cybersecurity which is styled as an amendment to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7.   Of course this version is undated.  More recent versions may differ.  But now, at least, we have something to actually talk about.
