President Obama is asking for $355 million in next year's budget to fund the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) cyber-security work. The budget proposal was outlined in an overview of Obama's desired federal spending plan for fiscal year 2010. The document stated that the money is "targeted to make private and public sector cyberinfrastructure more resilient and secure." The funds will be used to "support the base operations of the National Cyber Security Division, as well as initiatives under the Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative (CNCI) to protect our information networks."
