3. review, at the request of the mayor, the budget priorities of all agencies for programs related to cybersecurity, and recommend to the mayor budget priorities among such programs;

4. at the direction of the deputy mayor for operations or another designee of the mayor, require any city agency to furnish data and information that is necessary to ensure the compliance of city agencies with cybersecurity policies and standards;

5. direct cybersecurity defense and response, in coordination with the department of emergency management as appropriate; and

6. perform such other responsibilities with respect to cybersecurity, including responsibilities delegated elsewhere by the charter, as the mayor shall direct.
