For those that don't keep up with US government security, Einstein is a new intrusion detection and analysis program that the government plans to install on all ports of entrance into the government network.
While, the steps outlined by Secretary Chertoff are very sensible...most major corporations are ahead of the government.
Given the size of the government network, this project is a huge undertaking...but it is a necessary step and should provide a strong foundation to build upon.
