Despite the alleged recommendations of a presidential advisory panel, the White House will not be splitting the roles of NSA head and US Cyber Command chief, The Washington Post reports. Following a thorough interagency review, the administration has decided that keeping the positions of NSA Director and Cyber Command Commander together as one, dual-hatted position is the most effective approach to accomplishing both agencies missions, wrote spokesperson Caitlin Hayden in a statement. NSA director Keith Alexander was named chief of US Cyber Command upon its establishment in 2009, but theres no inherent requirement that the two positions be held by the same person. With Alexander stepping down next year, officials have considered putting a civilian in charge of the NSA and making the military Cyber Command post a separate role.
