Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to provide
Federal civilian agencies’ information
technology systems with cybersecurity
protection for their Internet traffic.

released on January 12, 2017 in 82 FR

provisions of the Federal Cybersecurity
Enhancement Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114–
11, Division N, Title II, Subtitle B, Sec.
223), which permit and require the
Secretary of the Department of
