The Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security have agreed to work closer to fight threats to military and civilian computer systems and networks. The new memorandum of agreement was reached to coordinate and improve efforts to secure the country’s cyber-infrastructure, according to the document. “With this memorandum of agreement, effective immediately, we are building a new framework between our departments to enhance operational coordination and joint program planning,” Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a joint statement. “It formalizes processes in which we work together to protect our nation’s cyber networks and critical infrastructure, and increases the clarity and focus of our respective roles and responsibilities.”
