Cyber center opened

On the website of TopTech News one can read that
“Homeland Security officials opened a $9 million operations center to better coordinate the government’s response to cyberattacks.”

Napolitano - Secretary of DHS- opened the new National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center in Virginia.

Lately, it seems more steps are being taken by the USG to become more secure regarding cyber. However, we must be critical as this might just be another center in the whole spiderweb-like structure of the USG organization. Will bureaucracy invent it from proper working? Will this be the solution to all?

Additionally, the article talks about the new cyber coordinator, who will be the policy advisor. This position is still open and accordingly, President Obama is involved himself in finding a capable person for the spot.

Will this mean that in the meanwhile the USG will stick to the policy right now in place? And it surely depends on this person which direction will be taken on this issue.
