The Department is pleased to announce that the Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital
Policy (CDP) began operations today. A key piece of Secretary Blinken’s
modernization agenda, the CDP bureau will address the national security
challenges, economic opportunities, and implications for U.S. values associated
with cyberspace, digital technologies, and digital policy.

The CDP bureau includes three policy units: International Cyberspace Security,
International Information and Communications Policy, and Digital Freedom.
Ultimately, the bureau will be led by a Senate-confirmed Ambassador-at-Large.
Starting today, Jennifer Bachus, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service,
is serving as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the CDP bureau. PDAS
Bachus will serve as Senior Bureau Official until an Ambassador-at-Large is
confirmed. Michele Markoff is serving as Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
International Cyberspace Security, Stephen Anderson is serving as Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary for International Information and Communications Policy, and
Blake Peterson is serving as Acting Digital Freedom Coordinator.

The Department appreciates the service and collaboration of all who will work
with and within the CDP bureau in the coming months and years to empower it to
achieve its vital mission.
