Homeland Security Advisory System
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is structured to protect the United States and its territories against foreign and domestic terrorist. From the time the DHS has come into being it has implemented the US-immigrant and visitor status program. These two programs are capable of identifying and verifying all foreign travelers who have entered and exited the United States through airports and seaports. The major downfall of this program is it has a delay in its schedule, which in return causes issues with the Secure Border Initiative. By the time, they have identified an individual and notified the proper agency the potential suspect may have already left the country.

The DHS continues to work and transform all key areas of intelligence gathering and sharing, and implementing new regulations on how other agencies and departments will work together. The DHS continues to enhance its management roles and coordination efforts throughout all levels of government, making the flow of communications faster and more accurate. The DHS continues to study what worked and what has not worked in the war against terrorist. Throughout these studies, the DHS has identified some departments and programs that had zero effective contribution to the security of the U.S. or the people. One system that was identified was the color-code Homeland Security Advisory System. The National Terrorism Advisory System replaced this system, which is more practical and easier to …show more content…
There were initially over 60 cities receiving funding from this grant program now there are only 31 cities receiving funding. These 31 cities are at a higher risk of a terrorist attack than the other 32, by reducing the number of cities funding is much larger and more effective at protecting these areas. During the study, the DHS stated that the Homeland Security grants are wasted. With the changes across the DHS, the White House continues to push for the amnesty-first approach. They want to cut the spending on border security and lighten the restrictions on the immigration policy. By reducing the funding and changing the policies, it will undermine the progress the DHS has had over the last decade in fixing the border issues and giving the U.S. credibility with immigration laws. The DHS set up the National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) to detect and monitor potential malicious activity across federal agencies network systems. The NCPS is not meeting the systems objective of intrusions or deviations of abnormal network behavior. This system is not addressing the common security vulnerabilities of unknown signatures across the network. The NCPS is also failing at preventing intrusions in blocked e-mail domains.
