Melissa Hathaway, who completed the Obama administration's cybersecurity review in April, had initially been considered a leading contender to fill the post permanently.
The White House is still working to fill the top cyberpost, which Mr. Obama created May 29. That post would report to both the National Security Council and the National Economic Council, which some cybersecurity experts said has dissuaded candidates from taking the job.
Ms. Hathaway said she took her name out of the running for the post two weeks ago. She said she was leaving for personal reasons and that she plans to remain working in the cybersecurity arena. Her resignation will take effect Aug. 24.
