Explain how dhs should handle the situation described


Discussion

Provided a high-level overview of the need for a national framework for protecting critical infrastructure. For some additional reading, take a look at the latest Presidential Order that relates to strengthening cybersecurity that relates to critical infrastructure.

After reading chapter 1 and looking at the link above, you're ready to participate in the first discussion.

Let's look at a real-world scenario and how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plays into it. In the scenario, the United States will be hit by a large-scale, coordinated cyber attack organized by China. These attacks debilitate the functioning of government agencies, parts of the critical infrastructure, and commercial ventures. The IT infrastructure of several agencies are paralyzed, the electric grid in most of the country is shut down, telephone traffic is seriously limited and satellite communications are down (limiting the Department of Defense's [DOD's] ability to communicate with commands overseas). International commerce and financial institutions are also severely hit. Explain how DHS should handle this situation.

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, explain how DHS should handle the situation described in the preceding paragraph.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students' threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I'm looking for about a paragraph - not just "I agree.")

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
