Making Your Agency Safer
New FISMA legislation is through the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. One of the biggest elements is the addition of a Chief Information Security Officer at every agency. We talked about the new legislation and what CISOs will mean government-wide with Jerry Davis, Deputy Chief Information Officer at NASA.
Now What?
The House rejected the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 this afternoon, and Thursday is the next likely day for either side of Capitol Hill to take action. We talked about what might be next with Tom Firey, the Managing Editor of the Cato Institute’s Regulation Magazine, and Barry Bosworth, Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution.

The Chairman of the new Council, Richard Douglas of United States Steel, told us why the councils are important, what they do, and how they interact with DHS.
