DHS Secretary Hopes To Improve Defense Against CyberCrime

By Lashan Clarke

At a meeting for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Secretary of the DHS spent time emphasising how the government feels about cybrsecurity and what role it plans to take in tackling it in the future.

The federal government would like to continue to see private and public firms develop a sense of togetherness in tackling cybercrime. By doing so, better communication is achieved between the private and public sectors, and the country is able to deal with cyber attacks with everyone’s full participation.

The speech by the Secretary Michael Chertoff was not scheduled, but the press was allowed to attend the entire meeting.
