The federal government is planning a centralized emergency response team to respond to attacks on the U.S. information infrastructure. The Computer Emergency Response Team at Carnegie Mellon University, which is financed through the Defense Department, will play a major role in developing the new interagency group, which will handle security concerns related to the Internet, the telephone system, electronic banking systems, and the computerized systems that operate the country's oil pipelines and electrical power grids.
