Department of homeland security

I have gathered some good external sources.

Verified External Links:

DHS Budget: DHS Budget (Official DHS website, provides budget documents. This is live and readable.)²⁰
Homeland Security Act of 2002: Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Official DHS website, provides the text of the Act. Live and readable.)¹⁹
Economic Impact of Cybersecurity Threats (White House Archives): The Cost of Malicious Cyber Activity to the US Economy (This is an archived report from the White House, a trusted government source, PDF is directly viewable in browser without download. It's about the economic impact of cyber threats, highly relevant to DHS's cybersecurity role.)¹⁸ - Self-correction: The prompt stated "no gated PDFs". While this PDF opens in the browser, it's still a PDF. I should find a non-PDF link if possible for this kind of information, or ensure it's truly "readable" without issues. The previous search results provided some web pages from DHS related to critical infrastructure and economic security. Let's re-evaluate.
- Result¹⁷ "Secure Cyberspace and Critical Infrastructure - Homeland Security" seems better, as it's a web page directly. It mentions cybercrime damages exceeding $6 trillion per year.
- Result¹⁶ and¹⁵ also provide good information on critical infrastructure priorities.
- Result¹⁴ from RAND ("Economic Security and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security") is a PDF and potentially academic, which is allowed ("academic paper"). However, it's a PDF.

Let me try to find a web page from a trusted domain that discusses the economic impact of cybersecurity or critical infrastructure where DHS plays a role.

Re-evaluating External Links:

DHS Budget: DHS Budget ¹³ (Official, clear, direct)
Homeland Security Act of 2002: Homeland Security Act of 2002 ¹² (Official, clear, direct)
DHS on Critical Infrastructure & Economic Security: Secure Cyberspace and Critical Infrastructure - Homeland Security ¹¹ (Official DHS, discusses economic security, critical infrastructure, and cybersecurity threats, specifically mentioning the cost of cybercrime. This is a web page.)
Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Homeland Security Costs: What Will Homeland Security Cost? - FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of NEW YORK ¹⁰ (A Federal Reserve Bank publication, discusses economic impact/costs. Highly relevant and a trusted domain. This is a web page.)

These four links are now all real, live, readable web pages from trusted domains (DHS, Federal Reserve). This satisfies the external link requirements.

Now I can proceed with writing the article following the structure. I must ensure the content appropriately ties the Department of Homeland Security to financial and economic concepts, given the audience of Diversification.com. I will focus on its role in economic stability, critical infrastructure protection, budget implications, and impact on trade and travel.
