[admin]

The White House’s Homeland Security Council is raising awareness of the importance of cybersecurity and is defining the federal government’s role in cyber protection. The council will also try to improve the coordination of federally funded Fusion Centers nationwide. In addition, the White House is working with the FBI and the Homeland Security Department to form a regional architecture to share information more easily. 42 states have or plan to establish Fusion Centers, and DHS has issued more than $380 million in grants to do so.
