  8. 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. Information Sharing ProgramSimple Premise

  9. 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 Information Sharing ProgramGuiding Principles

  10. 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 Two-Way Information Sharing

  11. Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) A free service provided by DHS IAIP for the nation’s 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

  12. HSIN Functionality Theme HSIN Feature Deliverable A sensitive, but unclassified backbone to share information Access to a suite of common services at greatly reduced cost HSIN Architecture The capability to receive broadcasts and narrowcasts Extend reach of alerts, warnings, advisories, while tailoring delivery Alert/Warning Information Dissemination The capability to store, search, and retrieve sensitive documents Build knowledge base and provide access to it HSIN Portal Real-time problem-solving and planning within and across communities The capability to conduct real-time dialogue Collaboration In deploying HSIN capabilities to the sector, DHS seeks to provide the following high-level features and benefits as a starting point:

  13. 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 Governmentand not customarily in the public domain. Critical Infrastructure Information (CII) Act of 2002 • 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

  14. 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 ConclusionsWhy Participate in the IAIPInformation Sharing Program?
