Top-Right corner shows this is Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security...nice to hear that agency is doing something good for regular people's security.

from http://www.dhs.gov/office-cybersecurity-and-communications "The Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C), within the National Protection and Programs Directorate, is responsible for enhancing the security, resilience, and reliability of the Nation’s cyber and communications infrastructure."

That used to be part of the NSA's charter, more or less, before they decided that playing offense was more fun.
