Richard Steinnon: DHS Not Using Right Tools for Cyber War

The Department of Homeland Security is not employing the right tools for cyber warfare, writes Richard Steinnon, author of Surviving Cyberwar.

Citing the recent hearing in which the inspector general of DHS gave testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security, Steinnon writes that the problem with U.S.-CERT is not the staffing shortages or the leadership turnovers but rather its “impossible mission.”
