White House Outlines Secret Cybersecurity Plan

How "secret" is your national cybersecurity plan when you are giving public speeches that outline your secret plans? C’mon, you have to admit that this headline is pretty funny when you think about it.

One portion of the summary talks about "extending cybersecurity into critical infrastructure" used by the federal government, a category that appears to include the Internet as well as electrical power and telephone links. Another dealing with intrusion prevention says that a Homeland Security program called Einstein 3 will involve the NSA receiving "alerts" involving "detected network intrusion attempts."
