Even before the terrorist attacks of September 2001, concerns had
been rising among security experts about the vulnerabilities to
attack of computer systems and associated infrastructure. Yet,
despite increasing attention from federal and state governments and
international organisations, the defence against attacks on these
systems has appeared to be generally fragmented and varying widely
in effectiveness. Concerns have grown that what is needed is a
national cybersecurity framework a co-ordinated, coherent set of
public- and private-sector efforts required to ensure an acceptable
level of cybersecurity for the nation. As commonly used,
cybersecurity refers to three things: measures to protect
information technology; the information it contains, processes, and
transmits, and associated physical and virtual elements (which
together comprise cyberspace); the degree of protection resulting
from application of those measures; and the associated field of
professional endeavour. Virtually any element of cyberspace can be
at risk, and the degree of interconnection of those elements can
make it difficult to determine the extent of the cybersecurity
framework that is needed. Identifying the major weaknesses in U.S.
cybersecurity is an area of some controversy. However, some
components appear to be sources of potentially significant risk
because either major vulnerabilities have been identified or
substantial impacts could result from a successful attack in
particular, components that play critical roles in elements of
critical infrastructure, widely used commercial software,
organisational governance, and the level of public knowledge and
perception about cybersecurity. This book addresses each of those
questions in turn.
