More and more people are becoming aware of and concerned by internet attacks and the need to secure data. I thought this was just another government entity, but it appears to be reorganization of an existing one.
The importance of cybersecurity work within the Department of Homeland Security has been elevated by legislation now signed by President Donald Trump.
The legislation the president signed into law Friday creates the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at DHS. The new agency will become the focal point at the department for protecting critical infrastructure, including election systems, against threats from unfriendly nation states, cyber criminals, and other adversaries.
It reorganizes DHS's National Protection and Programs Directorate into a new agency and puts more focus on its work to secure the nation's cyber and physical infrastructure.
