DHS to mount major IT security exercise
Wilson P. Dizard III writes in Government Computer News:
The Homeland Security Department plans to conduct a major cybersecurity preparedness and response exercise to be called Cyber Storm in November, a department official said in congressional testimony yesterday.
Andy Purdy, acting director of DHS’ National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), described Cyber Storm as "a national exercise" during a hearing that focused largely on the work yet to be done in the cybersecurity field.
He spoke during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information and International Security.
According to written testimony Purdy presented, the division has worked with the Justice and Defense departments to help form the National Cyber Response Coordination Group (NCRCG).
