Today's breaking news

Presidential Decision Directive 63 spawned a number of programs, including:

The Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office, a policy and planning office. The National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) headed by the FBI, which has already launched an education campaign geared toward raising awareness among affected industries. The NIPC gathers intelligence and threat information, and passes it on to private industry. The group also responds to serious networked system attacks.

Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISAC), which will be formed by industry sectors to share sensitive information, explore the impact of widespread attack and establish contingency plans.

The presidential directive calls for the ISACs to be up and running by the end of 2000 and for the program to be fully operational by 2003.
