Homeland Security moves full-speed-ahead on Einstein cybersecurity tool – NextGov
The Homeland Security Department will finish by 2012 installing a somewhat controversial system, called Einstein 2, that monitors traffic on federal computer networks for potential intrusions, and will start the next phase of the application, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said during an address on the state of the agency.
The delivery began what she said will become an annual tradition akin to the president’s State of the Union speech. Napolitano’s remarks touched on the status and future of missions related to counterterrorism; border security and immigration; cybersecurity, science and technology; resilience and response; and recruiting.
