The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) this week kicked off a three-day test of its cyber response capabilities. The exercise, dubbed Cyber Storm III, is a cooperative effort that will simulate more than 1,500 different types of threats against critical government systems.

"Securing America's cyber infrastructure requires close coordination with our federal, state, international and private sector partners," DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement. "Exercises like Cyber Storm III allow us to build upon the significant progress we've made in responding to evolving cyber threats."
