Good idea under ‘good’ government—too many Obamaites make me nervous!

DoD, DHS Team Up to Strengthen Cyber Defenses: The Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security have teamed up in an effort to strengthen cybersecurity for military and civilian computer networks and systems.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates yesterday released a new memorandum of agreement on cybersecurity, which was created to coordinate and improve efforts to secure the nation's critical digital infrastructure. ...

Under the agreement, DoD and DHS cyber analysts will work to support the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center. The agreement also provides a full-time senior DHS leader to the National Security Agency, as well as a support team made up of DHS privacy, civil liberties and legal staff. ...

In yesterday's phone briefing for reporters, a senior DHS official said the agreement is the "next logical step" in cybersecurity efforts and has several important effects. "We expect it to enhance joint planning and increase visibility between DoD's and DHS's operational processes and increase each agency's effectiveness," the official said. [Date: 14 October
