Washington, DC<\/strong>\u2014A new cybersecurity initiative dubbed PAWS (Puppy Assisted Warning Systems) has been introduced today by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to combat and deter the rising threat of cybersecurity attacks from countries who have vested interests to undermine US IT infrastructure and businesses. The 1.7 trillion dollar program will be entirely self-funded through the sales of NSA branded dog toys, and it is being rolled out and expected to be in operation by 2025.
Rowlf Hundsinger, the US DoD\u2019s Chief Canine Asset Trainer, said during a press conference from a high security kennel facility in the backyard of the NSA complex at Fort Meade: \u201cUS cybersecurity programs have been lagging, but this program will give us a new leash on life. Dogs are excellent at sniffing out drugs, they can warn of impending dangers like strokes and earthquakes\u2014why not use them for more critical tasks like protecting the US infra\u2026 wait, is that the mailman at the front door? What is he up to? Hey! HEY!!!\u201d
Cyberattacks cost the US billions of dollars each year and put the Nation\u2019s infrastructure in danger. Thanks to dedicated and focused canine agents, this will soon be a thing of the past:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
