Cybersecurity certainly bubbles to the top of his list.
As fraudsters chip mercilessly away at the government’s elastic perimeter, the nation’s cyber infrastructure—and all the critical data it houses—lies at risk.
The fear is well-founded. There are an estimated 3 million indications of malicious activity per year in civilian government networks. Some 40,000 cyber attacks occurred against the
Department of Defence alone in the first half of 2009; and cyber criminals have absconded with over $100,000 from U.S. banks.
Legislation might help the President and U.S. government agencies get a better night’s sleep, but a sound action plan, including situational awareness, is the way to get there—and ensure greater cybersecurity for all.
