Fox News
Harry Coker, a retired naval officer and former NSA official, will be the second person ever to hold the title of cybersecurity chief after being confirmed by the Senate in a 59-40 vote.
Coker brings more than four decades of public service to the role, including his time from 2017 to 2019 as he served as the Executive Director of the NSA, where he helped lead and manage the largest component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, according to the White House.
Coker will be taking on the role that has been vacant since February when inaugural director, Chris Inglis, resigned. Biden announced his intent to nominate Coker back in July.
