Answer:

A Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI).

Step-by-step explanation:

This initiative was first outlined in 2008, under Bush's administration but it remained classified. Under Obama's administration was declassified, since President Obama believed that cybersecurity was one of the most serious economic and national security challenges for the government.

The CNCI acts as a front line of defense against cyberattacks, coordinates the research and development of new security techniques, creates or enhances the threat response time, among other functions.
