**<u>Government Technology Initiatives</u>**

Mr. Liscouski was appointed by President George W. Bush as the first Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was founded in 2003 in the wake of the 911 attacks. During his tenure, Mr. Liscouski was responsible for the design, development, implementation and management of the Office of Infrastructure Protection, including integrating various units from other government agencies including; FBI, DoD, General Services Administration, the Department of Energy and the Depart of Commerce and the creation of the National Cyber Security Division.
