The committee's bill "maintains the primary functions of the new undersecretary for information analysis and infrastructure protection and elaborates and expands upon his responsibility for cybersecurity," said committee Chairman W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, R-La. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0702/071102td1.htm Alliance Proposes Cybersecurity Agency A cybersecurity agency should be created in the proposed Department of Homeland Security, the Business Software Alliance said. The cybersecurity agency would ensure that significant attention and resources are focused on protecting the nation's public and private information infrastructures, the alliance said in a June 28 letter to Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., chairman of the House Government Reform subcommittee on technology and procurement policy. http://online.securityfocus.com/news/527 OMB orders agencies to report on computer security In an ongoing effort to protect the federal government's information infrastructure, newly released guidelines require the government to bolster security reviews of its information and computer systems. According to updated guidelines released last week by the Office of Management and Budget, federal departments and agencies will have to take additional steps to verify the security of their computers' systems by providing quarterly, detailed information on strategies and progress to repair diagnosed security flaws. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0702/071102td2.htm Attack of the Cyber-Terror Studies Last month's Business Software Alliance report on cyber security (pdf) concluded that cyber terrorism was going to be really serious, so everyone should protect themselves by giving more money to the members of the Business Software Alliance.

Does the President's Special Advisor on security really understand the issues security professionals are dealing with? In the effort to protect homes and business against the perceived threats of cyber- terrorism, White House Cyber-Security Czar, Richard Clarke is engaging in a series of meetings with security industry representatives to discuss the nature of information security, particularly after September 11. http://online.securityfocus.com/columnists/94 Businesses see bonanza in homeland security As government workers browse the booths at a high-tech expo here, a large placard declares, "Homeland Security and Defense is SERIOUS BUSINESS." Unstated is another truth: It's also serious money. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States have created a wave of new government spending reminiscent of the space program in the 1960s or the savings and loan bailout of the 1980s. http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/2002/07/11/terror-gadgets.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
