Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander, the director of the National Security Agency, said on Tuesday that his agency is not interested in taking charge of cybersecurity efforts. Alexander said that running information security inside the government is not the NSA s job. He said DHS is much better positioned to handle that function than NSA is. Alexander: They ve got to operate and secure the rest of the.gov networks. We don t want to do that hard work. We ll provide them with technical support .
