I doubt it.

Cybersecurity is way overhyped. Read Mitnick's book. Most great haXs have a large component of social engineering. Plus anything the government would suggest would have a large conflict of interest in it because the governmnet wants to snoop on you.

REAL security would mean encrypted email, encrypted IM and encrypted VoIP as the default, and encrypted files on disk. It would end the ability of law enforcement to spy on citizens. The government fears that.
