The Homeland Security Department now has the foundation for addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and response, but the details will be filled in at a summit later this year, Robert Liscouski, assistant secretary of infrastructure protection, testified before a House subcommittee today.

Although cybersecurity is a priority for the department, officials are only this week making a series of announcements about executing the charter of DHS' National Cyber Security Division. This is because they wanted to make sure the team and structure was in place before issuing promises for service, Liscouski told the House Homeland Security Committee's Cybersecurity, Science and Research subcommittee.

The cybersecurity division will hold a forum in the fall for federal, state and local government agencies, and all portions of the private sector, to determine the details of executing the priorities outlined in the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, Liscouski said today.
