Huge importance: Trump wants to ensure cybersecurity is central to the US military.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday postponed signing an executive order that is expected to require the heads of government agencies to play a more direct role in reviewing and managing risks to networks under their control.

Trump, at a White House event with top officials to discuss his order, said his initiative would "hold my Cabinet secretaries and agency heads accountable, totally accountable, for the cybersecurity of their organisations."
