-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Information_technology] Daily News 11/26/02 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 08:37:27 -0600 From: "NIPC Watch" <nipcwatch@private> To: "Information Technology" <information_technology@private> November 25, The Washington Post Homeland Security Bill heralds IT changes. Some new language in the homeland security bill increases penalties for a range of computer crimes. The bill also establishes law enforcement and corrections technology centers to develop investigative technologies to fight cybercrime. These cybersecurity components were added the same week that Congress approved legislation that would triple federal funding for computer security research. In addition, the legislation includes a proposal passed by the Senate this year to establish an information technology equivalent of the National Guard: the Net Guard. This measure organizes a volunteer force of federal, state local and private programmers and engineers that could be called upon in an emergency to help restore communications networks and other vital systems.
