Fix the Inadequate Systems that Protect .gov Networks

BY MIKE ROGERS

DHS manages the National Cybersecurity Protection System in a piecemeal fashion using outdated and outmoded technology.

The current National Cybersecurity Protection System is insufficient to manage the threats facing U.S. networks today, let alone tomorrow. The Department of Homeland Security’s approach to defending our government’s network architecture, NCPS is a system of systems that uses a variety of platforms and services intended to detect, analyze, and share threat information as well as filtering malicious code before it appears on government networks. Despite the best of intentions, it hasn’t been very successful.
