Presidential Policy Directive 41 (PPD-41) titled "United States Cyber Incident Coordination" is a Presidential Policy Directive signed by President of the United States Barack Obama on 26 July 2016.[1][2] Its annex has subject "Federal Government Coordination Architecture for Significant Cyber Incidents".[3]

Invocation

Directive 41 was invoked several times by the Obama administration, to address threats to national cybersecurity.[4]

The succeeding Trump administration, which took office in January 2017, did not invoke the directive at all until 15 December 2020.[4] On that occasion, PPD-41 was invoked in a statement by the National Security Council announcing the creation of a Cyber Unified Coordination Group "to ensure continued unity of effort across the United States Government" in response to the 2020 United States federal government data breach.[1][4][5]
