New DHS Cyber Alert System Draws Friendly Fire

摘要

The leaders of the security information sharing organiza- tions within two of the nation's critical-infrastructure sectors are criticizing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for announcing a new cyber alert system without better framing the role of the private sector. In interviews with Comput-erworld last week, senior officials from the Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISAC) within the IT and financial services industries said they learned of the new DHS National Cyber Alert System from media reports that appeared shortly after the announcement was made last Wednesday [QuickLink 44367].
