Trump Signs Bill That Creates the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (zdnet.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the new-and-improved dept.

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."

      Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

      Now let's look at what Trump said recently. (Randomly quoted from the internet.)

      Trump said candidates like Andy Barr in Kentucky and Pete Stauber in Minnesota did well after embracing Trump's policies. But he said candidates who said "let's stay away" didn't do nearly as well.

      "I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad, but I feel just fine about it," Trump said as he rattled off some of the names.

      "Carlos Curbelo, Mike Coffman. Too bad, Mike," Trump said, referring to lawmakers who lost in Florida and Colorado.

      "Mia Love," he said of the Republican from Utah who appeared to be on the verge of losing her seat. "I saw Mia Love, she called all the time to help her with a hostage situation. Being held hostage in Venezuela."

      "But Mia Love gave me no love, and she lost," Trump said. "Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia."

      "And Barbara Comstock was another one," he said of another GOP loss in Virginia. "I mean, I think she could have won that race, but she didn't want to have any embrace. For that, I don't blame her."

      "But she lost, substantially lost," he said.

      "Peter Roskam didn't want the embrace," he said of a Republican from Illinois who is expected to lose. "Erik Paulsen didn't want the embrace," he added of a Minnesota race that's expected to go to the Democrats.

      Basically Trump, like the devil apparently promises great things to those who fall down and worship (embrace) him.
