The Department of Homeland Security is launching a national risk management center to tackle key cybersecurity priorities, including creating a registry of the nation’s digital “crown jewels.” It will initially focus on the energy, telecom, health care, and financial services sectors, and will organize much of its work in a series of “90-day sprints” focused on particular national cyber priorities.
Another key focus for the center will be helping protect industry supply chains from cyber threats. It will have a broader and longer-range focus than Homeland Security’s National Cybersecurity Communications and Integration Center, which is the current point agency for cyber information sharing between government and industry.
