DHS' Efforts to Coordinate the Activities of Federal Cyber Operations Centers

We audited the National Protection and Programs Directorate’s (NPPD) efforts in coordinating with cyber operations centers across the Federal Government. The recent increase in cyber attacks has triggered an expansion of security initiatives and collaboration between the Government and the private sector. The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center, which is the operational arm of the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications within NPPD, is responsible for integrating cyber threat information from the five Federal cybersecurity centers and collaborating with these centers in responding to cyber security incidents that may pose a threat to the Nation.
