Trump Signs Bill That Creates the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (zdnet.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet: U.S. President Donald Trump signed today a bill into law, approving the creation of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The bill, known as the CISA Act, reorganizes and rebrands the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), a program inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as CISA, a standalone federal agency in charge of overseeing civilian and federal cybersecurity programs. The NPPD, which was first established in 2007, has already been handling almost all of the DHS' cyber-related issues and projects.
As part of the DHS, the NPPD was the government entity in charge of physical and cyber-security of federal networks and critical infrastructure, and oversaw the Federal Protective Service (FPS), the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM), the Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis (OCIA), the Office of Cybersecurity & Communications (OC&C), and the Office of Infrastructure Protection (OIP). As CISA, the agency's prerogatives will remain the same, and nothing is expected to change in day-to-day operations, but as a federal agency, CISA will now benefit from an increased budget and more authority in imposing its directives. "Elevating the cybersecurity mission within the Department of Homeland Security, streamlining our operations, and giving NPPD a name that reflects what it actually does will help better secure the nation's critical infrastructure and cyber platforms," said NPPD Under Secretary Christopher Krebs. "The changes will also improve the Department's ability to engage with industry and government stakeholders and recruit top cybersecurity talent."

You must be a CISA.
F--K YEAH!
Adding water to the swamp now are we?
Your Trump cyber force is awake.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Back doored encryption schemes so the pres can arrest anyone who has called him stupid.

....since fake news are a threat to national security they should be tasked with shutting down some twitter accounts
How to filter this apk shit out ?
And why doesn't slashdot do it themselves ffs ?
Anytime the government forms a new department these days you can pretty much bet they are failing at that badly and need a smokescreen that will make it look like they are doing something. The consumer protection agency was the same thing. They swung for the fences while trying to set it up, but once the suit weasels got done with them, they couldn't police a bingo game.
Watch him arrest whoever his opponent in the 2020 election is.
CISA in the field of info security Refers to a particular ISACA certification for security auditors. It's even a trademarked acronym. Wth do these government people think they are, stomping all over companies' IP and stealing acronyms for their own use?

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Safety, to purchase a little temporary Liberty, deserve neither Safety nor Liberty."
... renamed it.
I feel much more secure now.
Oh, and I almost forgot: quantum bitcoin.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
That's a terrible workaround, not a solution.
Almost as shitty as apk's,........ whateverthefuck he is going on about.

Typical government bureaucrat.
You can put as much lipstick on the pig as you dare. At the end of the day, it's still a pig.
Seriously? They seriously went with "cyber" in the freaking name?
Are they still printing out their e-mails? Some force that's gonna be ...
And: Like we need yet another totalitarian state terrorism agency! How many of those has the US got now? I know there's at least half a dozen robbing-ALL-the-privacy,-spreading-lies,-meddling-with-foreign-states-and-breeding-terrorists-on-purpose agencies.
I want all the sick fucks that are like this or approve any of this sick shit off my planet! (Without harming anyone, lest I'd be the same.)
The question is, if you will be with us, or make up more self-fulfilling excuses about how we're alone and nothing can be done, while falling for every cheap distracting hate-generating artificial divide that such people generate corner to rule us.
Just like when they changed the War Department to the Department of Defense!
Or when Trump moved the American embassy to Israel!
Or when West Dakota became California.
More regulation, more red tape. Odd to see Republicans supporting moves like this
Melania-style fuck robots have just been patented

I wondered if the formation of an agency that is obviously needed and should be applauded by all would end up with some fools using it to say bad things about Trump. I swear - that guy could cure cancer, invent limitless energy and create world peace and you'd still give him shit. Biased fools.
Zach Paterson/ZIP + c6gunner 'Greatest Hits': "I'm a much better programmer than APK" - by Anonymous Coward ZIP on Monday October 08, 2018 @11:27PM (#57449082)
BIG TALK - ZIP has no programs to show as proof.
I do https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
(From registered /.ers liking/using/praising my work + 100k users worldwide)
ZIP tried to take credit for what I solved before him https://tech.slashdot.org/comm...
He codes? He can't EVEN READ!
I show 2 ways to do it YOURSELF https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... - he can't.
Delphi/FreePascal/ObjectPascal HAS no null-term'd string bufferoverflows https://developers.slashdot.or... - C does, C++ can UNLESS you do what I said 1st.
He likes CODE SIGNING (it's been STOLEN & ABUSED) https://www.helpnetsecurity.co...
MY METHOD CAN'T BE (upmodded +2 INTERESTING in CODING FOR DEFCON) https://it.slashdot.org/commen...
ZIP says he has no /. acct "I don't have an account so I don't have mod points" https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
Yet ZIP says he downmods me (IMPOSSIBLE w/ no /. acct.): "I down-modded a few of your post" - by Anonymous Coward "ZIP" on Thursday October 11, 2018 @11:31AM (#57461058)
APK
P.S.=> KEEP IMPERSONATING ME like https://science.slashdot.org/c... (I'd never say that OR bitch to do-NOTHING "ne'er-do-wells" like ZIP OR c6gunner https://linux.slashdot.org/com... (he 1st mocked me & impersonated me TWISTING /.ers words & after I FAIRLY challenged him to show HE DID BETTER & that was his response (weak))!
Above EXPOSES your BLOWHARD incompetence... apk

haha
apk probably does too
Dude, you got your fucking red stapler back, please fly to a Mexican resort and fuck off already.
That pretty much covers it, except FEMA generally doesn't carry guns.
It is a device to allow you to locate your own micropenis below your belly.
You may strike yourself now, though. I recommend using the horse dong from your anal cunt.
why is it tax dollars are apparently used for their federal stuff to protect their federal stuff rather than the whole country. hmmmm DARPA.. Internet ... made publicly available in 1993.....well uncle sam, you finally got around to it. letting the public use what you so carefully funded for your own gains and the rest of us had to use the Post Office
hhmmmm... why is there not a massive FAIL2BAN on every INBOUND .. it would not be that hard and of course, when you get it wrong during account setup there could be some rules there that are impossible to spoof....
it was doing just fine until Trump and a GOP lead Congress gutted it.
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
1st U FAIL a PORTFILTERING TEST https://yro.slashdot.org/comme... (IF hosts could DO it I'd implement it in my work & I STOP THAT ERROR - test for yourself & see using my program) & Hosts can stop portsmash (blocking downloads of it) "You basically have to already be able to run your own evil code on a machine in order to PortSmash it." from https://www.theregister.co.uk/...
* In fact, hosts MAY prevent the OTHER forms of Intel CPU weakness per ACADEMIC RESEARCH I read:
SPECTRE "As an attempted mitigation for our JavaScript-based attack" https://spectreattack.com/spec...
MELTDOWN "We presented Meltdown, a novel software-based attack" https://meltdownattack.com/mel...
APK
P.S.=> Like portsmash? Academics NEEDED TO RUN CODE LOCALLY like portsmash which hosts can prevent harm to you via Spectre/Meltdown - & the ONLY thing I question would be can something like RPC make them work (that MAY be considered 'remote')... apk

The problem is that there are many good, insightful posts at 0. It's mixed up with the trolls and spammers. Either you miss out on some good posts, or you end up seeing lots of shitposting.
Usenet used to have killfiles by author or content. You could have a personal killfile that removed, say, every post that contained a given three character capitalized sequence.
But of course that was "too hard" for the average soccer mom, so now we have web forums without even the simplest usability features that were present in the 1980's NNTP readers.

YOU DUN GOOFED!!
