"US Justice Department Launches New National Security Cyber Section"

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has recently announced the establishment of the National Security Cyber Section, also known as NatSec Cyber, within its National Security Division (NSD).  Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division stated that NatSec Cyber will give us the horsepower and organizational structure we need to carry out key roles of the Department in this arena.  Olsen noted that this new section will allow NSD to increase the scale and speed of disruption campaigns and prosecutions of nation-state threat actors, state-sponsored cybercriminals, associated money launderers, and other cyber-enabled threats to national security.  The primary objective of the National Security Cyber Section is to enhance the Justice Department's capacity to counter malicious cyber activities effectively.  Olsen stated that by fostering partnerships both within the DOJ and across the government, the section aims to address the growing sophistication and aggression of cyber-threats posed by hostile nation-state adversaries.
