“Pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive-41 (26 July 2016) and its Annex, a Cyber Unified Coordination Group has been established to ensure continued unity of effort across the United States Government in response to a significant cyber incident,” NSC spokesman John Ullyot said in a statement on Tuesday. “The UCG process facilitates continuous and comprehensive coordination for whole-of-government efforts to identify, mitigate, remediate, and respond to this incident. The highly-trained and experienced professionals across the government are working diligently on this matter.”
