[Infowarrior] - Cybersecurity Budget item

p71 and 72 of the FY10 budget overview document just released, in the  
DHS section:

"Funding of $355 million is targeted to make private and public sector  
cyber infrastructure more resilient and secure  These funds will  
support the base operations of the National Cyber Security Division,  
as well as initiatives under the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity  
Initiative to protect our information networks."


....again, this DC-based cybercynic thinks more of the same stuff. I  
gather this 355$ is for "stuff" and "services" to overlay on the  
existing infrastructure.   But how about teaching folks how to build  
resilient and secure networks in the first place, so there's less  
"stuff" we need to use/buy/fund/administer on top of an already-flawed  
foundation?
