SBInet was a program initiated in 2006 for a new integrated system of personnel, infrastructure, technology, and rapid response to secure the northern and southern land borders of the United States. It was a part of Secure Border Initiative (SBI), an overarching program of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to organize the four operating components of border security: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the United States Coast Guard. DHS announced the program's cancellation on Jan. 14, 2011.〔David Perera, ("DHS cancels SBinet" ), ''FierceGovernmentIT'', Jan. 14, 2011〕 In August 2008, DHS ordered Boeing to stop SBI work along the border between Arizona and Mexico because CBP had not received the necessary permissions from the Department of the Interior.〔Alice Lipowicz, ("DHS orders work to stop on SBInet" ), ''Federal Computer Weekly'', August 19, 2008〕 Boeing told a subcontractor that the suspension of work could last until January 1, 2009.〔("Work halts on border 'virtual fences'" ), ''Arizona Daily Star'', August 23, 2008〕 On March 16, 2010, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the DHS was diverting $50 million for the project into other efforts and that all work beyond the current pilot projects have been frozen.〔("Work to cease on 'virtual fence' along U.S.-Mexico border" ), ''Washington Post'', March 16, 2010〕 == Background == SBInet (a component of SBI) was a program created under U.S. Customs and Border Protection to design a new integrated system of personnel, infrastructure, technology, and rapid response to secure the northern and southern land borders of the U.S. SBInet replaced two former programs, America’s Shield Initiative and the Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System. Both of these programs had similar goals, but were scrapped due to mismanagement and failure of equipment. To avoid such problems, DHS decided to have development of SBInet managed by a single private contractor. Boeing, holding the primary contract, has subcontracted many portions of the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of the program, with Boeing handling the majority of the management aspects.
