The White House has announced it will establish a new Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center that will, among other things, be responsible for producing coordinated cyber threat assessments.
On February 10, 2015, the White House released the prepared remarks of Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. The remarks were from Monaco's recent speech in Washington D.C, Strengthening our Nation's Cyber Defenses. In this speech, Monaco announced that, in response to growing cybersecurity concerns, the White House will create a new Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC). The CTIIC, which will operate under the Director of National Intelligence and in a manner similar to the National Counterterrorism Center, will be responsible for:
Producing coordinated cyber threat assessments.
Ensuring that information is rapidly shared among existing Federal government Cyber Centers, network defenders and local law enforcement.
Supporting operators and policy makers with timely intelligence about the latest cyber threats and threat actors.
While the CTIIC will not collect intelligence, it will analyze and integrate information already collected by other authorities and draw on the existing Cyber Centers to better integrate their expertise and information to improve threat response.
