In a speech given at the London School of Economics, DHS secretary Janet Napolitano highlighted the need for international cooperation in the field of cyber security. She emphasized that the US needs to work closely with partner nations to effectively secure the global cyber infrastructure.

She also highlighted new detection and prevention capabilities that will come to bear on the cyber security effort. Napolitano said “In an increasingly networked world, our efforts to combat threats of terrorism rely more than ever on close collaboration with our partners across the globe. We are looking to a new generation of security professionals for innovative security strategies to confront a continually evolving array of threats.” Secretary Napolitano will later travel to the UAE to discuss cyber security and other issues.
