Head Of Homeland Cybersecurity Named
ziggy_zero writes "Security software industry veteran Amit Yoran is expected to be named the new head of federal cybersecurity by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday. The DHS is also partnering with CERT to form the "US-CERT" cyber-attack coordination center, coordinating efforts to fight cyber-attacks, worms, etc."
Results? Everybody's a terrorist now, how can they not get results?
Gee. I thought that's what the new "Threat Matrix" show was all about... so we could get a first-hand look at the DHS in action!
Urantian -- and proud of it!
It's probably classified, in the name of homeland security.
Maybe this guy will help get rid of all those nasty worms on the intarweb

Visit Jonesblog and say hello.
I am an indian and can tell you that Amit Yoran is NOT AN INDIAN NAME.
This just in: Our Nation's cyber-fighting department outsourced security implementation to India.
...who uses a new personalized OS: Microsoft WindowsXPlode
...who just outsourced 90% to Afghanistan.
...who just hired on some guy who calls himself 'Ossy bin Laden'.
...who just finished a 3 month 'pong' marathon in a cave located in an area no-one's heard of.
"He had a weird smirk on his face when they told him he would be in charge of managing cyber-attacks. Upon further clarification, his smile turned to frown when it was revealed to him that he would not actually be creating worms, viruses, or organized DDoS attacks."

I call it the Information Superhighway. Why? Is it because:
1) I like lots of syllables.
2) I'm a slave to whatever phrase is the current media darling.
3) I feel like roadkill on said highway.
or
4) I like screaming "ONRAMP!" every time I boot the computer.
They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...
I am glad to see it was not the inventor of the internet.... Mr. Al Gore

Anyone wonder how long it will take until we have easy to understand color coded virus "terrah" alert levels?

I, for one, welcome our new cyber-security overlord!
That assumes some people actually read RFCs.
Most people hear "RFC" and think about either nasty fried chicken or some old TV show starring Andy Griffith.
I have something in common with Stephen Hawking...
