Source Node: 2418991

On Tuesday, the White House announced a new cybersecurity strategy to reallocate cybersecurity responsibilities across the federal government. The new strategy is designed to better protect the nation’s critical infrastructure and data from cyber threats.

The strategy focuses on four key areas: improving the government’s ability to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats; strengthening the government’s cyber defenses; increasing the government’s ability to share information about cyber threats; and enhancing the government’s capacity to investigate and prosecute cyber criminals.

Under the new strategy, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be responsible for leading the government’s efforts to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats. The DHS will also be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy.

The Department of Defense (DoD) will be responsible for strengthening the government’s cyber defenses by developing and deploying advanced technologies and techniques to protect the nation’s networks and systems. The DoD will also be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy for defending against cyber attacks.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will be responsible for increasing the government’s ability to share information about cyber threats and enhancing the government’s capacity to investigate and prosecute cyber criminals. The DOJ will also be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy for combating cyber crime.

The strategy also calls for the creation of a new Cybersecurity Council, which will be responsible for coordinating the efforts of the various departments and agencies involved in cybersecurity. The council will also be responsible for developing a unified approach to cybersecurity across the federal government.

The new strategy is an important step forward in protecting the nation from cyber threats. By reallocating cybersecurity responsibilities across the federal government, the strategy will help ensure that the government is better prepared to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats. It is also an important step in ensuring that the government is better able to share information about cyber threats and investigate and prosecute cyber criminals.
