About Homeland411
Homeland411 was founded in 2017 as a dedicated, independent media platform committed to reporting on the multifaceted disciplines of homeland security, national defense, intelligence, critical infrastructure, and emergency preparedness.
We write for the people who work in these fields: government officials, defense contractors, intelligence specialists, and homeland security professionals. Our reporting follows the directives, contracts, budgets, advisories, and threats that shape their work, and explains what those developments mean in practice.
What We Cover
- Cybersecurity: federal cyber directives, threat advisories, and the defense of critical infrastructure networks.
- Defense: military readiness, defense authorization, procurement, and emerging defense technologies.
- Border Security and Immigration: enforcement, technology on the border, and immigration policy.
- DHS: department directives, leadership, contracts, and policy.
- Terrorism: domestic and international terrorism threats and the response to them.
- Transportation: aviation, airport, and surface transportation security, including counter-drone policy.
- International: geopolitical developments that affect U.S. national security.
- Industry News: contract awards, solicitations, and the companies that serve the homeland security market.
