DHS information-sharing in a rut?

The Homeland Security Department’s chief information-sharing network is stuck in a rut. But it still might succeed if the department can strengthen it as a unique platform for intelligence and cooperation, according to experts reviewing the programs. In the future, that might best be done if DHS focuses on building the strong points of its faltering Homeland Security Information Network by offering robust private-sector critical infrastructure intelligence, delivering unique information and capabilities related to the national incident management system and the national common operating picture and providing fresh intelligence from DHS’ agents, experts said.
