Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. government's efforts to protect critical infrastructure, including government computers, financial systems, and air traffic control, are coordinated by multiple agencies, not a single civilian office headed by the CIA. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), particularly through its Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), plays a key role in these efforts, alongside other agencies depending on the specific sector.
