Homeland Security addresses the security needs of the state. Developed in
response to 9/11 the Homeland Security Office is focusing on a range of
important security needs and services, including transportation-related
issues. Potential high-threat topics — e.g., nuclear power plants, DOE
shipments, chemical industry, major distribution of gas and electric
utilities, and other target infrastructure — are all covered through the
Office’s Homeland Security mission. Initially, the ITS Architecture focuses
on security issues as part of incident management. In the future, as the
Office’s mandate is refined, additional security services and needs are
likely to be reflected in the Architecture.
