Legislation would require agencies to implement the government’s Einstein intrusion protection program. The bill’s sponsors and administration officials say ambiguities in existing law make it unclear whether it’s legal for agencies to disclose network traffic to DHS. Einstein won’t be effective unless the government provides the money for DHS to manage and expand the intrusion prevention program. “Einstein doesn’t help if it can’t decrypt communications,” former CIA CISO Robert Bigman says. Einstein is an Obama priority, a point made by DHS Secretary Jehron Johnson at a House hearing.”]
