Official: DOD-DHS Cybersecurity Pact Boosts Day-To-Day Ties

摘要

The cybersecurity memorandum of agreement between the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security is being implemented through "day-to-day" collaboration, rather man talks confined to major events, according to a senior DHS official. Gregory Schaffer, the assistant secretary of the DHS' Office of Cybersecurity and Communications, revealed new details this week on efforts to carry out the agreement (MOA), which was signed in September by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and DHS chief Janet Napolitano. The agreement aims to align and enhance U.S. capabilities to defend against cyber threats vital to computer networks.
