		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to be a focal point of &#8220;cybersecurity&#8221;, legislation was introduced that would allow the DHS to levy fines and other civil penalties against any companies the government decides is &#8220;critical&#8221;.  I agree that the need to protect critical infrastructure is important, but this effort by legislators creates a slippery slope and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the deficiencies that came to light in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was the communication failure between competing intelligence agencies.  A report released this past Monday from the Government Accountability Office shows that the same failure to communicate is happening in the cybersecurity arena.  The breakdown in this arena is between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again I find myself liking White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt&#8217;s approach even if I think his position is weakened based on placement, authority, etc.  In a Bill Brenner article today on CSOonline, Schmidt points to the defense against the wide range of threats, including coordinated attacks, to be best lead from the private [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CNN recently broadcast a cyber-attack simulation meant to demonstrate the potential cascading effects of a widespread attack on our nation&#8217;s infrastructure.  The exercise included former federal officials who played the role of key positions in the executive branch to show how the government would respond to the escalating incident.  They even had a flashy headline: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been mulling on the appointment of Howard Schmidt as U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator for several days.  This is the appointment that has been 10-months in the coming since President Obama vowed to create the post.   This is the role that was previously filled (at least functionally) by Melissa Hathaway who left over frustration with the [...]]]></description>
