The secret is out: DHS launches state-local network
Matthew Broderick? Hahahah, obviously not that Matthew Broderick.... :-)
Alice Lipowicz writes in Government Computer News:
The Homeland Security Department is deploying a new "secret" data network to pass classified information to hundreds of state and local officials, DHS officers said at a congressional hearing today.
The Homeland Security Information Network-Secret (HSIN-Secret) is an "immediate, inexpensive and temporary approach to reach state and local homeland security and law enforcement sites that can receive secret-level information," Matthew Broderick, director of the Homeland Security Operations Center, said in testimony today to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing and Terrorism Risk Assessment.
The new network is operating and will continue to do so until the DHS secret-level backbone called the Homeland Security Data Network is initiated in fiscal 2007, Broderick said.
