DHS to State Its Case to Business
Caron Carlson writes in eWeek:
Improving cyber-security may be in the public interest, but to persuade the commercial owners of the country's critical infrastructure to invest in more secure networks, the Department of Homeland Security next year plans to show them the bottom line.
Echoing what has become a mantra on Capitol Hill, lawmakers chided the DHS last week for not making greater strides in developing a plan to protect the cyber-networks that gird the country's transportation, power, water, telecommunications, oil and gas pipeline, and chemical processing systems, as well as other critical infrastructure.
Andy Purdy, acting director of the DHS' National Cyber Security Division, told legislators that next year the department is going to present the business case for investing in the security of SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems.
