A new Cyber Security bill was introduced in IT security legislation. A new division for cyber security compliance will be created within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Homeland Security Cyber and Physical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2010. It will manage the set up of performance-based standards to tackle particular security risks faced by the nation’s critical infrastructure information networks and IT systems of civilian federal government agencies.
