According to the Washington Post, the National Communications System (NCS) is assembling GEWIS ("Global Early Warning Information System," pronounced "gee-whiz") to detect and respond to attacks on vital information systems and key e-commerce sites. Unrelated to Poindexter's Total Information Awareness (TIA), the center is a key piece of the White House's national cybersecurity strategy and represents a major leap in the federal government's effort to achieve real-time tracking of the Internet's health. According to the Post, "The White House believes the monitoring center is necessary because no single entity in the government or private sector has more than a limited view of the global communications network."
