US to form new agency to coordinate efforts tackling cyberthreats

Full Article 

        Hello everyone! Today, I will be talking about how the US government going to announce, on Tuesday, the creation of a new agency, which will be called the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center, that will focus on combating virtual threats like massive hacking operations and attacks on US infrastructure. This new agency will allow the government to gather and share information collected by agencies such as  the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency. This latter ability is a difference between it and the National Terrorism Center, and is also a reason as to why it failed- it did not have this ability.

        Later on in the year, we will discuss agencies of the government, the powers they have, and the process of creating a new agency. This is a good example of this- it's the creating of an agency as well as the powers this new agency will have.

        I think the creation of this new agency is a great idea. It's long overdue that we have an agency to beef up our cybersecurity, because the next war will be cyber warfare, and that will be fought not by soldiers, but by tech personnel working around-the-clock in order to patch things before they are compromised. With this new agency, we finally have a way to do this, and a way to, hopefully, prevent it from happening.
