The U.S. Senate passed a bill that would increase cyber security spending. About $397 million is supposed to go toward improving cybersecurity within the DHS. That’s $84 million, or about 27%, more than the $313 million that was allocated for information security in fiscal 2009.
Cyber Security: $397 million, $84 million above 2009, to expedite the continuing effort to combat the cyber security threat by reducing the points of access to the federal computer network to prevent hacking; by coordinating with the private sector who owns 85 percent of the Nation’s critical infrastructure; and by increasing security training and management of telecommunications, networks, computer systems, and the Internet.
