Yoran has privately confided to industry colleagues his frustrations in
recent months over what he considers the department's lack of attention
paid to computer security issues, according to lobbyists and others who
recounted these conversations on condition they not be identified
because the talks were personal.

This has been an issue for *every single* cybersecurity czar so far - the
inability of the office to actually get anything done.  And this is going to
fast become self-fulfilling - another 2 or 3 guys go through, and they're going
to have *real* trouble finding a qualified person, because nobody dynamic
enough to be able to create change will want a job known industry-wide as a
"bang your head against the wall" position.
