"House panel signs off on $1.8B for DHS cyber office"

The House Appropriations Committee has approved a bill for funding around $1.8 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that would allocate $1.4 billion to the cyber unit, National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD).  The NPPD is a unit of the DHS that has been assigned to protect U.S. critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. However, the DHS’s Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) would receive cuts to funding by the bill. This article further discusses the allocation of funds to the NPPD and cuts to DHS’s S&T, along with how this could impact cybersecurity and research.
