Rod Turk, the Commerce Department’s chief information security officer, said the goal isn’t to undermine what the Homeland Security Department is providing, but rather to make sure his agency is as prepared as possible when the tools do arrive.
“We have found that we need to upgrade our infrastructure for CDM so that it is a high rated system rather than a moderate rated system as far as the Federal Information Security Management Act is concerned,” Turk said. “We are making some investments on our own to put controls in place for that high system. In addition to that, as we move more tools from the CDM program into our environment, we will have to increase the size of our infrastructure so that we can actually handle all of the tools and the data flows so we are working very closely with the CDM program to help us in that regard as well.”
