The Department of Homeland Security’s new National Risk Management Center has ambitious goals for changing the way government and industry approach business. But first, it must get organized.
NRMC Deputy Director Mark Kneidinger told the Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board at its Nov. 1 meeting that the center spent the past three months staffing up and building an organization with analytical capabilities.
Currently, the center relies on dozens of feds detailed from DHS and other agencies, including Kneidinger. NRMC’s goal is to identify and recruit more people with specific cyber expertise, begin reaching out to partners in industry and state governments to establish long-lasting partnerships and identify and define national critical functions.
