8Information Sharing ProgramSimple Premise
- Information shared with the First Responder
Community is also shared with state, regional and
local governments - The Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN)
will support the entire First Responder Community - Information shared with DHS can be shielded by
the Protected Critical Infrastructure Information
(PCII) program.
9Information Sharing ProgramGuiding Principles
- Voluntary participation by industry
- Maximize use of existing operational centers
- Minimize burden on government and industry
participants - Establish two-way, trusted information sharing
channels - Improve preparedness of the entire sector for
major disasters or terrorist attacks - Provide a rapid means to collect and exchange
critical information
10Two-Way Information Sharing
- IAIP/ICD communicates timely threat and incident
information and coordinates the dissemination of
DHS threat and warning products to the
infrastructure owners and operators, primarily
through the Information Sharing and Analysis
Centers (ISACs) and/or Sector Coordinating
Councils (SCCs) - IAIP/ICD regularly solicits technical expertise
on infrastructure-related issues addressed in
warning products via the ISACs and SCCs - Infrastructure owners and operators, primarily
through the ISACs and/or SCCs, pro-actively send
threat and incident information to IAIP/ICD - Industry threat/incident data is fused with law
enforcement and intelligence community
information to produce timely and actionable DHS
threat and warning products
11Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN)
- A free service provided by DHS IAIP for the
nations infrastructure owners and operators - A highly secure network backbone built over the
Internet - A common set of information sharing
functions/tools - Announced by Secretary Ridge, March 2004
12HSIN Functionality
In deploying HSIN capabilities to the sector, DHS
seeks to provide the following high-level
features and benefits as a starting point
13Critical Infrastructure Information (CII) Act of
2002
- This Act created a Program to receive and protect
voluntarily submitted CII which may contain
proprietary and confidential information not
otherwise available to the Federal Government and
not customarily in the public domain.
- Once validated as Protected CII, information will
be protected from disclosure - encouraging
submission of information by the private sector - PCII can be used by the Federal Government to
analyze potential threats against the US, produce
warnings, formulate plans, and coordinate efforts
of government agencies
14ConclusionsWhy Participate in the
IAIPInformation Sharing Program?
- Better access to threat and incident information
- More timely warning notification, including
recommended protective measures - More useful information on infrastructure
interdependencies - Information exchanges enhance situational
awareness within your sector and company
