DHS Reorganization Enhances Cyber Security ARLINGTON, Va., July 13
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff
announced his intention to create an Assistant Secretary for Cyber
Security and Telecommunications as part of his plans to reorganize
the Department of Homeland Security. The holder of this new
position will be responsible for identifying and assessing the
vulnerability of critical telecommunications infrastructure and
assets; providing timely, actionable and valuable threat
information; and leading the national response to cyber and
telecommunications attacks. In response to today's announcement,
Paul Kurtz, executive director of the Cyber Security Industry
Alliance (CSIA) said: "Today marks a huge step forward in the fight
to protect our nation's critical information infrastructure. Under
Secretary Chertoff, the Department of Homeland Security has
exercised great leadership and vision by creating an Assistant
Secretary for Cyber Security and Telecommunications at the
Department. By adding a position that holds both the resources and
authority to effectively lead public-private efforts to harden our
nation's IT and communications infrastructure against cyber
attacks, DHS has created the foundation needed to move forward with
the execution of a comprehensive approach to cyber security that
will successfully build on public and private sector efforts to
date. CSIA would also like to commend Congress, especially the
House Committee on Homeland Security, for its continued attention
to cyber security issues and the role it has played in helping to
reach this important milestone. We look forward to working with the
new Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Telecommunications
and welcome renewed leadership from DHS." About the Cyber Security
