Fact Sheet: DHS Cybersecurity Policy
Fact Sheet: DHS Cybersecurity Policy
05-15-2018 10:32 AM Release Date: May 15, 2018 We depend upon cyberspace for daily conveniences, critical services, and economic prosperity. At the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, we believe that cyberspace can be made secure and resilient. DHS works with key partners across the Federal government, State and local governments, industry, and the international community to identify and manage national cybersecurity risks. The DHS Cybersecurity Strategy sets out five pillars of a DHS-wide risk management approach and provides a framework for executing our cybersecurity responsibilities and leveraging the full range of the Department’s capabilities to improve the security and resilience of cyberspace. Reducing our national cybersecurity risk requires an innovative approach that fully leverages our collective capabilities across the Department and the entire cybersecurity community. DHS will strive to better understand our national cybersecurity risk posture, and engage with key partners to collectively address cyber vulnerabilities, threats, and consequences. We will build on ongoing efforts to reduce and manage vulnerabilities of federal networks and critical infrastructure to harden them against attackers. We will reduce threats from cyber criminal activity through prioritized law enforcement intervention. We will seek to mitigate the consequences from cybersecurity incidents that do occur. Finally, we will engage with the global cybersecurity community to strengthen the security and resiliency of the overall cyber ecosystems by addressing systemic challenges like increasingly global supply chains; by fostering improvements in international collaboration to deter malicious cyber actors and build capacity; by increasing research and development, and by improving our cyber workforce. Through these efforts we seek to create a safe and secure cyberspace for the American people and protect the open, interoperable, secure and resilient Internet. DHS Cybersecurity Goals Pillar I Risk Identification Goal 1: Assess Evolving Cybersecurity Risks We will understand the evolving national cybersecurity risk posture to inform and prioritize risk management activities. Pillar II Vulnerability Reduction Goal 2: Protect Federal Government Information Systems We will reduce vulnerabilities of federal agencies to ensure they achieve an adequate level of cybersecurity. Goal 3: Protect Critical Infrastructure We will partner with key stakeholders to ensure that national cybersecurity risks are adequately managed. Pillar III Threat Reduction Goal 4: Prevent and Disrupt Criminal Use of Cyberspace We will reduce cyber threats by countering transnational criminal organizations and sophisticated cyber criminals. Pillar IV Consequence Mitigation Goal 5: Respond Effectively to Cyber Incidents We will minimize consequences from potentially significant cyber incidents through coordinated community-wide response efforts. Pillar V Enable Cybersecurity Outcomes Goal 6: Strengthen the Security and Reliability of the Cyber Ecosystem We will support policies and activities that enable improved global cybersecurity risk management. Goal 7: Improve Management of DHS Cybersecurity Activities We will execute our departmental cybersecurity efforts in an integrated and prioritized way. Our Cybersecurity Strategy in Action
