On March 10-14, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security’s National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) will sponsor it’s second large-scale national cyber exercise, Cyber Storm II. The exercise will center on a cyber-focused scenario that will escalate to the level of a cyber incident requiring a coordinated Federal response. Cyber Storm II is part of Homeland Security’s ongoing risk-based management effort to enhance government and private sector response to a cyber incident, promote public awareness, and reduce cyber risk within all levels of government and the private sector.

The goal of Cyber Storm II is to examine the processes, procedures, tools, and organizational response to a multi-sector coordinated attack through, and on, the global cyber infrastructure. The Secret Service as well as numerous other agencies will participate in this exercise.
