To give you some idea of how little regard Trump pays to the critical role of cybersecurity, he is reportedly set to nominate the former COO of the Republican National Committee, Sean Cairncross, as the new head of the Office of the National Cyber Director. This guy has zero experience in the cybers.
"In his new role, Cairncross would be responsible for coordinating national cybersecurity policy, advising the president on cyber threats, and ensuring a unified federal response to emerging cyber-risks. He would share responsibility for advising the president on cyber matters, along with the director of cyber at the White House National Security Council (NSC) — a group that advises the president on all matters security related, and not just cyber."
