Bush to Call for Fed NOC
By Caron Carlson and Dennis Fisher

The Bush administration has plans to create a centralized facility for
collecting and examining security-related e-mail and data traffic and will
push private network operators to expand their data-gathering initiatives,
according to an unreleased draft of the plan.

The proposed cyber-security Network Operations Center is included in a
draft of the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, which was developed
by the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and is due for
release Sept. 18.

The call for expanded data collection and analysis results from
administration concerns that efforts to secure cyberspace are hampered by
the lack of a single data-collection point to detect cyber-security
incidents and issue warnings, according to a draft of the plan, which was
obtained by eWeek.
