The Homeland Security Act was enacted in 2002, building off the Patriot Act's response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States. The Homeland Security Act sparked the largest U.S. government reorganization since the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947. Under the Homeland Security Act, dozens of government agencies, offices, and services were consolidated into the newly created U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). With the creation of the DHS, a new cabinet-level position, Secretary of Homeland Security, was also created. Title X of the Homeland Security Act identifies several standards, tactics, and controls that should be used to secure U.S. federal government information. Title X and its subsections establish the authorities, responsibilities, and functions associated with information security.
