US officials are deploying "the latest tools" to keep cyberspace safe for commerce and protect the US information infrastructure, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
Napolitano, speaking at the National Press Club, emphasized that homeland security and US economic security "go hand in hand."
"Cyberspace is an increasingly busy area for all of us," said Napolitano in her annual speech on the state of US homeland security.
In today?s "high-tech security and commercial environments, we must also focus beyond just the physical movement of goods and people across our borders."
Homeland Security officials aim to create "a secure environment for the flow of cyber commerce" and help support "a secure marketplace for the exchange of goods and ideas," she said.
"We are deploying the latest tools across the federal government to protect critical systems," while also sharing security information with the private sector "to help them protect their own operations," Napolitano said.

I'm not a hacker or even a genius with a PC, merely interested in the 'growth industry' of cyber, or information, security and will share any stories and news items I find on the subject.
