"The architecture of the Nation's digital infrastructure, based
largely upon the Internet, is not secure or resilient." It's a
horrifying wakeup call that bluntly opens this report on one of the
most serious national security and economic threats the United
States-and, indeed, the world-faces in the 21st century. And it
sets the stage for the national dialogue on cybersecurity it hopes
to launch. Prepared by the U.S. National Security Council-which was
founded by President Harry S. Truman to advise the Oval Office on
national security and foreign policy-this official government
account explores: the vulnerabilities of the digital infrastructure
of the United States what we can do to protect it against
cybercrime and cyberterrorism how to protect civil liberties and
personal privacy in cyberspace why a citizenry educated about and
aware of cybersecurity risks is vital the shape of the
public-private partnership all these efforts will require Just as
the United States took the lead in creating the open, flexible
structures of the early Internet, it must now take the initiative
in ensuring that our digital networks are as secure as they can be,
without stifling the unprecedented freedom of opportunity and
access the information revolution has afforded us all. This report
is the roadmap for making that happen, and it is required reading
for anyone who works or plays in the 21st-century digital world:
that is, all of us.
"Defending our Nation against its enemies is the first and
fundamental commitment of the Federal Government. Today, that task
has changed dramatically. Enemies in the past needed great armies
and great industrial capabilities to endanger America. Now, shadowy
networks of individuals can bring great chaos and suffering to our
shores for less than it costs to purchase a single tank. Terrorists
are organized to penetrate open societies and to turn the power of
modern technologies against us." From U.S. Security to Terrorism: A
Three-Part Series was created by the National Security Council in
response to the changing security needs of the United States in a
post-9/11 world. Part I, The National Security Strategy of the
United States of America, outlines the nation's goals regarding
strengthening international alliances, defusing regional conflicts
in the Middle East with the hope of preventing the growing threat
from weapons of mass destruction, as well as building democracy and
promoting economic growth within Islamic nations. Part II, The
Global War on Terrorism: The First 100 Days, was issued in 2002 by
the Coalition Information Centers. It summarizes specific actions
taken by the Bush Administration regarding policies of diplomacy,
the complex network of terrorist finances, and military campaigns
in Iraq & Afghanistan, humanitarian relief programs including
necessary respect for Islam. Part III, The National Security
Council's 2003 report The National Strategy for Combating
Terrorism, combines the information about the nature of the global
terrorist threat today with specific goals and precise objectives
on four fronts: defeating terrorist organizations with a global
reach, denying support to terrorists, diminishing the underlying
conditions that are exploited by terrorists, and defending the
United States.
