NAPS calls upon President Obama to strengthen cyber security measures at OPM

NAPS joined with our partners in the Federal Postal Coalition to call on President Barack Obama to create a special task force charged with investigating the cyber breach at the Office of Personnel Management and to create countermeasures to prevent future attacks.

In the letter, the coalition called upon the President to

“immediately appoint a task force of leading agency, defense/intelligence and private-sector IT experts, with a short deadline, to assist in the ongoing investigation, apply more forceful measures to protect federal personnel IT systems, and assure adequate notice to the federal workforce and the American public,”

The Federal Postal Coalition is comprised of organizations that represent federal and postal employees from all across the federal government.
