Homeland Security Activities and Programs in Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection
Introduction
Cybersecurity and Homeland security are two distinct disciplines at critical junctures in critical situations. Exploring the nexus of homeland security and cybercrime is essential for prospective homeland security experts contemplating a cyber-concentration in their career path. Individuals interested in other specializations such as criminal law, intelligence, or domestic security are attracted to these fields. Still, only a very particular subsection of these people will possess the necessary skills, academic qualifications, and a broad array of interests to prosper in the cybersecurity industry (Beckner, 2021). The kind of people who will be attracted to the disciplines is equally interested in the tech of cyberspace since they are to protect the Nation. A significant portion of the United States government's cybersecurity apparatus is focused on the adversary, which is defined as the individuals or groups attempting and have already conducted an assault on information and technology (IT) systems. Unlike any other department in the administration, the (DHS) is unusual in that its effort to maintain national cybersecurity is generally agnostic to any particular malicious attacker but is influenced by the threats that the actor poses to the country. This In Focus outlines the Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity responsibilities and how the Department collaborates with others to achieve those purposes. The Department of Homeland Security has several cybersecurity missions that span the range of preventive, defense, abatement, investigation, and rehabilitation. In functioning along this spectrum, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strives to analyze cyber hazards and utilize its awareness of those vulnerabilities to increase the security and stability of (ICT) systems. Department of homeland security has the capability and authority to provide direct help to a complainant of a cyber incident to assist that person in recovering from the incident. The paper discusses the different methods the DHS can provide privacy and protection from cybercrimes.
Research Question
Research Question: Is it possible to provide cyber security and privacy protection through homeland security operations and programs?
To ensure the protection of citizens at all levels of government, homeland security activities are essential. The capability of the Department to ensure cyber security, which is becoming an increasingly critical issue in all operational elements of enterprises, must be established as a result. A nationwide reaction to a significant cyber incident is coordinated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which offers support to conceivably affected organizations, evaluates the prospective impact on critical facilities, inspects those held to account in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, and collaborates the national response to the significant cyber incidents. The Department cooperates with other government agencies with supplementary cyber operatio...
