A unified facility to watch cybersecurity
November 10, 2009 - 6:00am
The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center will serve as a unified operations center for the Department of Homeland Security. The 24-7 operation in a state-of-the-art facility will address any and all threats to the United States' critical infrastructure.
"Securing America's cyber infrastructure requires a coordinated and flexible system to detect threats and communicate protective measures to our federal, state, local, and private sector partners and the public," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The facility will not only mitigate the risks that could disrupt critical IT functions and services, but also give flexibility in handling traditional voice and more modern data networks, according to a statement from DHS.
The NCCIC will include the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, the National Coordinating Center for Telecommunications, and the National Cyber Security Center.
