To counter these threats, the memorandum directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the National Coordination Center within the Homeland Security Task Force to establish a specialised operational program.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The initiative will be jointly overseen by DHS and the Department of Justice (DOJ), creating a formal bridge between public law enforcement and private technology contractors. Under the framework private firms can form collaborative agreements with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial agencies to collect threat intelligence on foreign networks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Secondly, vetted private partners will be authorised to conduct both \u201ccyber surveillance operations\u201d and \u201ccyber effects operations\u201d against approved foreign targets. The memo defines \u201ccyber effects\u201d as actions that manipulate, disrupt, deny, degrade or destroy digital infrastructure, information systems and physical hardware controlled by targeted organisations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Financial safeguards put in place<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To ensure accountability and prevent unauthorised activity, participating companies will be required to pass rigorous vetting processes and maintain a financial bond or escrow account of at least $1 million.
