I'm sure he can be replaced with no effect to "cyber security". An $80 mil budget is hardly ignoring computer security. There is more to this story that has nothing to do with security.

You may be right about replacing him with no effect but I would point out that throwing wads of cash at a problem does not mean it is being effectively addressed.

$80M is peanuts in government terms. Its the equivalent of 320 full time people at best. Its not near enough to be effective.

There is also the political angle. If the government were to really enforce or mandate some levels of computer security starting in house, would lose almost all of its Gov business, and that would not be allowed to happen quietly.
