Is the Bush Administration Getting Serious About Information Security?

Earlier this month, President Bush requested $154 million in FY2008 funding for expanding cyber security initiatives at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal agencies. The majority of the initial budget request (which would shift current government fiscal year money from other projects) will reportedly be focused on expanding DHS's "Einstein" program, which is run by the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
