This book focuses on the vulnerabilities of state and local
services to cyber-threats and suggests possible protective action
that might be taken against such threats. Cyber-threats to U.S.
critical infrastructure are of growing concern to policymakers,
managers and consumers. Information and communications technology
(ICT) is ubiquitous and many ICT devices and other components are
interdependent; therefore, disruption of one component may have a
negative, cascading effect on others. Cyber-attacks might include
denial of service, theft or manipulation of data. Damage to
critical infrastructure through a cyber-based attack could have a
significant impact on the national security, the economy, and the
livelihood and safety of many individual citizens. Traditionally
cyber security has generally been viewed as being focused on higher
level threats such as those against the internet or the Federal
government. Little attention has been paid to cyber-security at the
state and local level. However, these governmental units play a
critical role in providing services to local residents and
consequently are highly vulnerable to cyber-threats. The failure of
these services, such as waste water collection and water supply,
transportation, public safety, utility services, and communication
services, would pose a great threat to the public. Featuring
contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume is
intended for state and local government officials and managers,
state and Federal officials, academics, and public policy
specialists.
