DHS Protecting Communications Infrastructure From Chinese Threat, Wolf Says

Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said Wednesday DHS is “working with our interagency and industry colleagues to protect our information and communications infrastructure from intellectual property theft and nefarious data collection by China.” In a “state of the homeland” address, Wolf said he ordered the launch of a China Working Group and singled out the work of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which “is at the forefront guarding against nation-state actors’ cyber-enabled espionage and malicious influence activity aimed at all levels of government and industry.”
