CONCLUSION DHS believes that cyberspace can be made safe and secure for the functioning of government, the delivery of essential services, and the everyday lives of the American people. DHS will maintain a leadership role, collaborating with other federal agencies, the private sector, and other stakeholders, across all of its cybersecurity mission areas to ensure that cybersecurity risks are effectively managed, critical networks are protected, vulnerabilities are mitigated, cyber threats are reduced and countered, incidents are responded to in a timely way, and the cyber ecosystem is more secure and resilient. Meeting the goals and objectives outlined in this strategy requires a unified, long-term approach across the Department. Aligning departmental network protection and law enforcement authorities with traditional risk management, information sharing, and incident response efforts will enhance DHS cybersecurity efforts moving forward and provide the Nation with a secure cyberspace for future generations. 27
