Privacy and Security As Simple As Possible--But Not More So

摘要

The problem:secure the cybernetwork of a large enterprise. It could be one supplying a vast array of services including disease tracking, astrophysics research, weather predictions, and veterans' health care services to a population of 300 million. Or it could be even bigger, perhaps providing critical infrastructure to the population. Requirements include doing so cheaply and efficiently. The solution? The one the U.S. government has begun to implement— EINSTEIN—involves centralizing its Internet connections so as to perform intrusion detection and prevention on all incoming communications.
