Advocates broad partnership to protect US infrastructure
Intricate networks, power grids and computer systems make up what we call our national infrastructure. If that infrastructure is attacked, we all suffer. That is why we must protect it.
At the Department of Justice, we have launched the National Infrastructure Protection Center. The mission is to detect, prevent and respond to cyber attacks. It is a true interagency, public-private partnership.
