Summary

Tomorrow, Sen. Thomas Carper (D-Del.) will introduce the ICE (Information and Communications Enhancement) Act, which would make information security a federal priority and establish a Chief Information Security Officer to report directly to the president.

Currently, national information security responsibilities are divided between the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the National Security Agency. The new National Office for Cyberspace would involve cooperation between all these agencies as well as from the private sector. Potential costs of the new office and related initiatives are as yet unknown.

Areas of federal concern span government agencies and private enterprise, from ISPs to oil and power companies.
