Fiscal 2010 Budget Sets Aside More for Cybersecurity

Posted by Kara Reeder Feb 27, 2009 2:20:43 PM

The Obama administration's fiscal 2010 budget proposal sets aside $355 million for cybersecurity efforts.

 

According to internetnews.com, a big portion of the funding with go to the Department of Homeland Security to finance the DHS National Cyber Security Division, as well as the DHS's Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.

 

Intelligence and the military also will receive funding, but since these areas are usually classified, the budget did not break out the spending.

 

Recently, Director of National Intelligence Admiral Dennis Blair said that the National Security Agency may take on a greater role in cybersecurity. No word on funding on that front.
