Government Must Step Up And Lead Cyberspace Homeland Security

摘要

The attacks of September 11, 2001, changed Free World society forever. The terrorist slaughter brought home the concept that no oceans, no mountains, no national borders will deter evildoers from attacking innocents around the globe. Free World governments responded to the terror tactics employed that day by increasing emphasis on homeland security, and among the first measures were efforts to strengthen commercial aviation safety. Everyone has seen the effect that homeland security is having on air travel, and certainly that is an important and highly visible function. But, the borderless nature of the war on terror requires that we consider the most borderless battlefield in the history of human endeavor: cyberspace. In addition to concerns about public transportation safety, we must continue to concentrate on protecting the network.
