DHS is responsible for securing dot-gov, including their databases. It's considered a "federal civilian network".
USCYBERCOM is responsible for dot-mil, with the help of the NSA.
- godgod 11y agoWhile technically correct on gov vs mil, the NSA isn't in the business of protecting us from cyber or terror attacks. They scoop up everything to protect themselves from US. The data they collect is for social, political and economic control and NOTHING else. Sure they release some of hacking signatures they collect from all their hubs to the private sector but the real purpose of capturing all the data is CONTROL.

- dm2 11y agoIt's the Department of Homeland Security's responsibility, but that doesn't mean that anyone necessarily failed at their job. Just that it's a very difficult job. The NSA will certainly contribute tools and expertise when needed to any US government agency/department. The DHS tool "Einstein" is an intrusion detection system that detected the breach. CIA records are assumed to not be held by the OPM, for the reason that they are the ones that are most sensitive if stolen.
