The Obama administration is creating an intelligence integration center in an effort to combat cyber attacks, according to a report in Federal Times.
The Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC) will work much like the National Counterterrorism Center, pulling threat information into a single place and disseminating it as needed. It will fall under the purview of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The new center will not be an intelligence gathering institution, said Lisa Monaco, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, who introduced the CTIIC during a talk at the Wilson Center on Feb. 10.
Rather, the CTIIC “will analyze and integrate intelligence already collected,” Monaco explained. “That will enable the existing cyber centers to be more effective.”
