Today the government is working to make the nation safer than it was in the days preceding and immediately following the terrorist attacks on our homeland in September 2001. The men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, other parts of government, state and local first responders, businesses, and individual citizens have worked to make it so. Whether it is protecting borders, bolstering transportation security, or improving first responder capabilities, the cyber infrastructure often provides the basis for successful operations and communications. DHS has a unique opportunity and mandate to bring different government and non-government entities together to improve cyber security.
