Narrative Fallacy writes "Federal civilian agencies are under the gun to re-engineer their networks by June 30 to comply with an ambitious plan to improve information technology security through a dramatic reduction of Internet connections from approximately 4,000 Internet connections to 50 highly secure gateways. The Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) plan will create a more secure perimeter between Uncle Sam's internal networks and the free-fire zone that dominates the external Internet. "We should have done this five years ago, but there wasn't the heart or the will then like there is now," says Howard Schmidt, a former White House cyber security adviser. "You can easily monitor what's going on, you can react more quickly, and you have greater visibility of threats. If done correctly, this can achieve a lot." The Defense Department isn't included in the Trusted Internet Connection initiative because it has already consolidated its Internet connections from more than 60 to 15 although its eventual goal is to reduce the number to 10."
