    This is a great news for Information Security Professionals like all of us graduated from Capella University.

    More jobs and opportunities around the corner for all of us and the opportunity to serve our country.
    Cyber Security must be categorized as the #1 priority for our homeland security. As the time pass, cyber criminals continue to become more difficult to decipher.
    With this initiative of our honorable President Obama, our infrastructure for the first time in history will become the toughest and more than likely the hardest in the world to be attraction of cyber terrorists.
    If implemented at illustrated in the article at http://www.cio.com/article/493742/Obama_s_Cybersecurity_Initiative_Wins_Praise the cyber security of this nation will be 100% in compliance with National Security Statndars on Cyber Security.

    Great initiative overall.
